It seems empty without El Aina Danine an iconic figure we all came to recognize on a regular basis at the Kapa'a neighborhood center bus stop. Everyone had their opinion of the 'Angel at the bus stop', 'Lady in purple', and other
names that people should be ashamed to speak. She became like family, many disliked her and yet many sent her love. Just like in the dysfunctional family where family members fight and argue they always miss each other when they are no longer around. I feel the same with El Aina. She has moved on.
The Bus stop bench that fronts the Kapa'a neighborhood center was removed and brought back after it was remodeled with a bar in the middle of it.... |
I think even those who complained are missing our 'Island Icon' sitting at the bus stop, I know I am?
Did you know Psychiatrists say it's a sign of recognition to live at places like bus stops?
It's their fifteen minutes of fame, after all why would anyone choose to sleep and take residence
at a bus stop? These are people who are not recognized with their jobs, letters to the editor or a loving family-- on a subconscious level they are looking for love, not a place to sleep.
The bench was a present to the community from 3rd grade students at Kamehameha schools! |
Next time you encounter somebody like El Aina just smile and say hello, you'll be surprised how much that helps both parties involved!
God bless the 'lady in purple,' 'the angel at the bus stop,' I pray for her health and hope she's doing better.
God bless Kaua'i and the victims of the recent floods.... |
