It's all about the LOVE... and a Happy New Year!!!

It has been brought to my attention many times, "Why is it that Reverend Elias does not have a website?".... in short, this blog is for him. His many requests for ceremonies were always from people who knew him by a family or friend. Whether you call him for a ceremony or just to simply talk, you can always count on him.

When I first met Rev. Elias, it was always known and found it very comforting to understand that his love for life is to praise God's name in glory in song and dance. His love for prayer, music and family is close to his heart. He believes in Faith, Love and Joy and the greatest of them all is Love.... Rev. Elias motto: "It's all about the Love" or "It's all about the Aloha".

The Legend of Kamapua`a

Hina's husband Olopana, an influential chief, was already an old man while fair Hina was in the spring of her youth. Dutifully she shared his bed, but her heart longed for her husband's younger brother Kahiki-ula. She often invited her handsome brother-in-law to go berry-picking. He accompanied her gladly to cool springs and creeks. They talked intimately about the lore of herbs. Olopana, aware of his advancing age, resented their friendship, but didn't interfere. Only Hina herself knew if Kahiki-ula was also her lover.

When she gave birth, however, Olopana refused to acknowledge the baby-boy as his son.

movie trailer "The Pali"

Here's a movie trailer done please review, any comments will be appreciated.


Trailer: The Pali from D.R. on Vimeo.

About this video: "This is a trailer for a film we shot for Showdown in Chinatown  Championships. We didn't make the deadline, but were able to  put this together. We shot and edited everything in 4 days. For those unfamiliar with Hawaiian history, Hawaii has many  Gods and Demi-gods that roam the islands, many with turbulent  pasts. Hawaii Route 61, or better know as the Pali Highway, is a  well know area where Hawai'i's Gods interact with the residents  of the islands. The most common is when Pele, Goddess of Fire,  stops anyone driving over with pork in their car. She mistakes  the unsuspecting driver as her ex-lover Kamapua'a, the  Hog-Child demi-god.

Guy and Milani vow renwal

As long as our beautiful beaches and sun exist in Hawaii, ceremonies on the beach will always have beautiful memories.

In this vow renewal of 11 years, a request was made of Kahu Parker, for their twin sons to be included in the ceremony. From our ancient ancestors, to our elders, down to our parents life begins in a gift of breath, and it's through us to which that this gift is passed on with all the teachings to hold our old ways and to adapt to modern times with better understanding of our mistakes and never to repeat them, for from the begining our elders handed down to their children the gift..... we all call life.

One final request was made from Guy and Milani, was to say a prayer for a dear friend who lived on the west side of Oahu and loved the beaches.

While Guy holds a lei offering, Rev. Parker acknowledges ancestors for their acceptence.
