Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kākau no nā mea paʻi kiʻi: Kahi Alakaʻi i ke kākau a me ka hōʻoia ʻana, ʻĀpana 1

I hoʻokahi manawa i loko o kahi lumi me ʻO Kate Grenville, wahine wahine kuʻuna ʻole me nā aniani mānoanoa a me nā lauoho huluhulu. Ua heluhelu ʻo ia iaʻu mai kahi kikoʻī o ka puke moʻolelo āna e hana nei i kēlā manawa. Ua hoʻopaʻa pio ʻo ia iaʻu i kēlā me kēia huaʻōlelo. Ma laila wau me kāna mau mea e wehewehe ai i kahi a lākou e noho ai, nā mea a lākou e ʻaʻahu ai, nā mea a lākou e aloha ai, nā mea a lākou e noʻonoʻo ai, pehea ko lākou manaʻo. Ua ola kāna mau ʻōlelo i koʻu manaʻo. Ua. Mesmerized.

Nānā ʻo ia mai kāna hana. "ʻAʻole au makemake iki i kēlā ʻāpana," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻaʻole ia e lilo i loko o kaʻu puke."

Ua haki ke kilokilo. Aia kekahi ʻāpana like mai kahi o 199 mau kānaka ʻē aʻe i noho pū me mākou me Kate i kēlā lā. Ua pihoihoi mākou i kahi ʻāpana nani o ka kākau ʻana i hiki ke hoʻolei maʻalahi ʻia. ʻO Sydney Writers festival ia, a ʻo Kate Grenville a me kekahi mau mea kākau ʻē aʻe e kamaʻilio pū ana me mākou e pili ana i ka hana noʻeau, a me ka hana nui, o ke kākau ʻana.

He hana paʻakikī ka kākau ʻana. E like me ʻoe e aʻo ai haku mele i nā kiʻi, Pehea e hoʻoponopono i ka mālamalama, pehea e heluhelu ai hīmeni, Pehea e kūkulu i ka pilina me kāu mea kūʻai aku, pēlā pū kekahi, pono anei ʻoe e hana e ao pehea e kākau ai. E noʻonoʻo i kāu puke punahele. Manaʻo ʻoe ua noho ka mea kākau ma kāna pākaukau i kekahi lā, kau i ka peni i ka pepa a hana i kahi ʻāpana nani o ka hana i hoʻokahi manawa? ʻAʻole!

ʻAʻole kahi kākau kahi mea e hiki ai i ka poʻe me ka 'makana' ke hana maikaʻi. ʻOiai nā mea kākau nui e pono e hoʻonaninani i kā lākou hana. Pono lākou e kākau, loiloi, kākau hou, a loiloi hou a kākau hou a hiki i ko lākou māʻona i kā lākou hana. A laila hāʻawi lākou iā haʻi i kekahi e nānā. A pēlā ia e hele ai, puni a puni. I kekahi manawa manaʻo ʻia ʻaʻole e pau nā kikoʻī a kākau hou.

ʻO ka hopena pau kēlā hana, akā, a koe ʻoe me kahi ʻāpana kākau nui i mākaukau e paʻi.

ʻAe, no laila ʻaʻole ʻoe a ʻaʻole wau e kākau i nā puke. ʻĀ, maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻole. O 'oe paha? Ke manaʻo nei wau ʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e heluhelu ana i kēia pou he mea paʻi kiʻi. ʻO ka hapanui kākau wale mākou i nā pou blog pōkole. Kākau mākou i nā menus kumu kūʻai, nā alakaʻi huahana a me nā ʻāpana hoʻolaha no kā mākou ʻoihana. Pono e hōʻike maikaʻi i kēia mau mea āpau a kākau maikaʻi ʻia inā lākou e loaʻa i ka maka o kā mākou poʻe hoʻolohe (nā mea kūʻai aku e hiki mai ana).

He aha ka mea e kākau maikaʻi ai?

Mālama nui lākou e pili ana i kēlā 'leka i ka luna hoʻoponopono' inā lākou e hoʻouna maoli i ka hoʻoponopono!) ʻO kāu kumu i kēia manawa e hui pū me kāu mea kūʻai aku, e kūkulu i nā pilina me lākou a i ka hopena no lākou e hoʻolimalima iā ʻoe ma ke ʻano he paʻi kiʻi.

• Maikaʻi ke lohe ʻana o kahi kākau maikaʻi a hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā poʻe hoʻolohe. Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i kāu mea hoʻolohe? Maliʻa paha like ia me kāu mākeke māka, a aia nā wahi o nā wahi kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ke kōkua e wehewehe ana i kēlā. (E hoʻāʻo maanei, maanei a ma aneʻi.) ʻAʻole ia he mea nui ʻo wai kāu mea e hoʻolohe ai, ʻoiai ke hoʻomanaʻo ʻoe iā lākou ke kākau nei ʻoe. No ke aha mai? ʻĀ, no ka mea inā ʻoe e kākau i ke ala like i kahi kaikamahine 16 makahiki i makemake e kamaʻilio me kāna mau hoaaloha ma Skype, e kau i nā kiʻi o kāna pōpoki ma Facebook a heʻenalu i ke kahakai kūloko e like me kāu hana i kahi makuahine 37 mau makahiki o ʻelua e heluhelu i nā puke Agatha Christie, ulu i kāna hua ponoʻī a me ka veg, a makemake e ulana, e huhū a luʻuluʻu paha kekahi. maikaʻi.
