Rosa,
This was a powerful post on intention. I love the word intention. I feel it is often something that resides within and needs help in coming out and being expressed.
As a counselor educator I worked at teaching my counseling students to listen for content, emotion, and intention. I would often encourage them to find the intention embedded in the emotion and I like how when you drop the e of emotion of you have motion.
I look forward to this year of intention for you and your readers.

Aloha e David,
Such good words, mahalo nui! And thank you for your fantastic imagery, that “when you drop the e of emotion of you have motion” — I really like that too!
I hope I did portray enough of my own e—motion here that intention is one of my favorite words as well, for Intention begs consciousness of thought and full awareness. The fact that we all can gather up our purposeful intention means we can’t escape our responsibilities.
Intention effectively connects our emotional intelligence with our actions, and there is such abundance in the thought that our emotions are the result of our history, our intuition and the aloha spirit which gives us the “breath of life.”
So much more to come as we explore further! Thank you for chiming in David.

Rosa, I am most struck how the use of Ho‘omau as a form of artful coaching - it elicits ideas and strengths from the other person, without the need to "tell" them. Fewer words, with the right intention, packs as much punch as the form of Haiku does to poetry. Thanks!

Aloha Debbie, mahalo nui for stopping by! You have so precisely nailed this concept with your comment!
The beauty of Ho‘omau is the way it reveals the inner strength people have within them, strength which is waiting to emerge in all its glory because the respectful manager has laid out the welcome mat.
