Beach Walk 363 - Get Help at Kaka'ako
Today’s show is from Kaka’oko Waterfront Park in Honolulu, a hidden beauty just a few blocks from the busy busy Ala Moana Blvd near downtown.Today’s word is kokua – which means help, aid, comfort. I love having a beautiful outdoor place in nature where I can chill, especially when it’s located in the hubbub. It takes a little curiosity to explore the neighborhood and find these spots, but oh, the reward! Thousands of people hurrying by, and less than 10 of us in this beautiful park on the waterfront.There have been a number of attempts recently to build condos on the waterfront here…but I am of the mind that even if a lot of people are not physically there, the open space still serves to drain off the congestion energy of the city. We are benefiting from this open space throughout the larger vicinity.
