Dedication ...

For my mother, Aileen Naheali`ikeli`imaheaimoku Waiolama Perez, who planted many seeds in my life and in the lives of others around her. Through her example she taught me Aloha Ke Akua, (God is love).

Mahalo to my brother-in-law, George Winston, for his passion in bringing the slack key `ano`ano or seed to fruition, and to Dancing Cat Productions for paving the ki ho`alu (slack key) super highway. Mahalo to Ki`ope Raymond and Danny Palakiko Jr., my Hawaiian language advisors; Helen Bigelow and Cynthia Bryant, my liner note editors; and my wife, Nancy, Head of State and Chief of Finances and All Projects.

Many of the songs, (mele), created and sung here were chosen because of their ability to transform from seed to harvest one's `uhane, (spirit), kino, (body), and mana`o, (thought and values), and one's sense of place. May we all continue to ho`ano`ano, or plant many seeds within our lives to strengthen our `uhane, kino, and mana`o, and those of the next generations.
