Cemetery Stewardship
|
Once a month (the 4th Sunday) Cemetery Stewards clean 3 cemeteries: O’okala, Kukuihaele, and now Pāʻauhau at the Hamakau Jodo Mission.
To see the ground, the dirt, at the Hawaiian Christian church cemetery...and simply by steadily returning, we saw the dirt and are beginning to see more. The powerful scene of human beings steadily working, persisting, breaking up the overgrown vines, wheelbarrowing them away...focused...feeling the presence of the ancestors, feeling the ocean breeze cooling us on that beautiful afternoon...a miraculous miracle...quietly we have started the movement, just as we are learning that there are 2-3 people dedicated to other cemeteries, maintaining...regularly. |
Our vision is your vision – legislation to protect graves of the immigrants – with cemeteries maintained by the community nearby.
We continue with prayers that we are setting in motion a “community commitment” to those who came before us, that will start to sprout in communities all over our precious Hawaii – honoring on a monthly basis, those who came before us.
Please know fully and in the depths of your soul, that the ancestors are most grateful that you come and work and clean and give attention in respect and gratitude.
