Aloha is the word conventionally used in Hawaii to say 'hello' or 'goodbye'. It literally means 'presence of breath' (presence = alo; breath/life force = ha). But aloha also has layered meanings and is an expression of profound affection, love, friendship, kindness, compassion, pity, mercy, joy, sharing, spirit, Grace.... What a concept! Love it.
ALOHA!
