Hāwane Rios Instagram – mehanaokalā
one of one the house down boots
nobody on earth like Mehana
& because of that it really is beautiful to be seen and loved by her
our sisterhood has healed me in ways that only people raised by the kona trade winds can
she has shown me how to speak up for myself and also has shown me what it feels like to be supported full stop
she protects my name in every room she walks into
& i do the same for her
when we ride
we ride at dawn and every single other time possible
she is one of the funniest people i have ever met in my life
when we are together
we are laughing
we are bantering
we are crying
we are dreaming of better for our people
but most of all
we are still laughing
& our Aunteh cackles can be heard around the world lol
mehana
i wish you all the beauty
all the wonder
all the joy this life has to gift you
you deserve everything good
i honestly mean that with my soul
you deserve the very best
your heart is your name
you teach me so much about what i means to really show up
& you already know
i will stand with you now & forever more
i love you like we love our mauna
i respect you just the same
hau‘oli lā hānau my sister of ‘āina and wailua
when we are old and gray i hope we look back at our lives and know we did everything we could for our mauna, our nation, and our Hawai’i.
