Kapuna Aunty Ruby




Aunty Ruby is a kapuna out of my imagination. Maybe she existed, I don’t know.
She was my kumu when i was painting her; kumu means ‘teacher’.
Kapuna means elder.
Elders are in Hawaii very honored and are mostly leaders and teachers, because they have so many experience and wisdom. They practice the ALOHA (love), PONO(righteousness), MALAMA (caring), and spirituality with grace.
Kapuna also means ancestor, and includes the many generations before us. Hawaiians speak with their ancestors to know which spiritual guidance to follow. Among the kapuna are the family guardian spirits or aumakua who takes physical shape in the form of honu (turtle), pueo (owl), shark..etc…My aumakua is the dolphin and the Pueo.

Aunty Ruby gave me profound lessons.
One was that you have to follow your spirit, your soul within.
You follow your breath HA…and you end up inside of you..there is where your source is, there is where the kapuna is. There is where you go and follow. You become a servant of God.
And God becomes your servant. you are One with God.
Ha is the breath of life, it is the essence, it is GOD.


When you are there, nothing external of you can touch you; can bring you out of balance.

You know who you really are, you are aloha, you are LOVE.
Her presence speaks of a deep knowing..she lives the BREATH HA.
She takes conscious breaths with lots of gratitude for life.
She knows breath is life!

She exhales HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA….she shares her Spirit with the oneness of God. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA exhale….

Aunty Ruby, mahalo for your breath into mine, your spirit in mine....
My spirit in yours, my breath in yours,....
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Mahalo, Tamara
