Ku'uleialoha

Four very lovely ladies come to mind when I think of Ku'uleialoha.

Two have been residents of the Concourse on High for a few years and two have recently joined them.

The first is Tutu Kelley, creator of the pikake style of Niihau shell lei. She turned a craft into art.

Next is her daughter Jean Keale, also associated with the lei of Niihau but more importantly as the first Niihau graduate of Kamehameha Schools, teacher, spiritual wayfarer, and mother of Ilei Beniamina.

Third is Cheryl Spock, from Kauai, also a spiritual wayfarer who loved and served, and touched hearts with Jean Keale in her quest to connect to her Hawaiian heritage before passing this week on Maui.

Fourth is Ku'uleialoha Patton who has been a kahu and kumu hula in Appalachia for several years. She passed a couple of days ago in Honolulu while on a visit.

When the fruit is ripe, the Gardener plucks it from the tree.


Perhaps the sweetest lei aloha is the caressing wind of Niihau- a reminder of the unconditional love that all received from these four extraordinary women- all named Ku'uleialoha.

What a small world.
Had lunch today with a lady whom I have known for many years. She is Kuulei Spock's sister!
