When i lived again in Honolulu, HI 2010-12, I took classes in Hawaiian Hula in the evenings for Kumu Marian Ka’ipo Park. She did wonderful choreographies, that I’ve been able to recall over the years thanks to others’ videos. This one especially, is to a song I’m very fond of, since it speaks of an oak tree and how we can be one with nature, called Grandmother Oak.

Growing up in the south of Sweden, my Junior High was called after an oak tree that stood in the middle of the yard, and it was also here my mother was a teacher in English. Oak, to me, represents wisdom and creativity, with its wonderful and unique leaves.
