The Man Who Gives Things Another Life<\/i><\/strong><\/h1>\n

By Doris Morisaki & Sharonne Samiere<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Doctor. Musician. Ballroom dancer. Jewelry maker. Balloon artist. And among all those talents, there\u2019s one we especially appreciate around Still & Moving Center: handyman extraordinaire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long before Mark became the person we call <\/span>upon<\/span> when something around the Center needs fixing, he was the kind of kid who loved taking his toys apart just to see what was inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t always succeed at putting them back together, but that never stopped him. He wanted to understand how all the little pieces <\/span>worked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Mark leaves little traces of his handiwork all around Still & Moving Center, and he generously gives much of his time and talent as a volunteer.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the woven stool that our Kumu M\u0101lia uses in class started falling apart, Mark didn\u2019t throw it away and replace it. That\u2019s not his way. He took it home, pulled it completely apart, repaired each piece, refinished and re-varnished the wood, and brought the stool back to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hand sanitizer <\/span>we needed <\/span>by our front door? Mark built the stand for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beautiful little wooden box behind our front desk that says \u201cWelcome\u201d and hides what used to be a mess of cables? Mark built that too.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when the toilet in our second bathroom broke, we didn\u2019t have to call a plumber. Mark and Dustin figured out what needed to be done and installed the new toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light bulbs, doors, the fish tank, furniture, cables, plumbing\u2026 when something around the Center needs fixing, adjusting, rebuilding, repurposing, or a little creative problem-solving, Mark finds a way.<\/span><\/p>\n

He even built a rain stick from scratch <\/span>to play<\/span> for our sound baths and yoga classes. And guess what he put inside to create that beautiful sound? Popcorn kernels! Mark doesn\u2019t just know how to fix things, he gets creative with whatever he has around him<\/span> and builds brand new things!<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year, he brings his<\/span> ingenuity<\/span> to our Diwali celebration. Mark serves as one of the masterminds behind the scenes, creating props, designing sound effects, and figuring out how to turn our ideas into reality. Many of the details that help transform the Center <\/span>into a magical setting <\/span>for Diwali start with Mark asking, \u201cHow can we make this work?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the interesting part: no one formally taught him most of these skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark didn\u2019t grow up with a handyman father teaching him how to fix things. Instead, he learned out of necessity. When something broke, he simply <\/span>set his mind to figuring<\/span> it out. I sometimes joke that Mark must have been born in Cuba, where <\/span>jerry-rigging broken things is just <\/span>a way of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, Mark has rescued countless things from being thrown away. He repairs them, transforms them, gives them a new purpose, and, in the process, makes our Center a little more beautiful, functional, and cared for.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And he gives it all as a labor of love. It\u2019s people like Mark who give our founder Ren\u00e9e Tillotson the confidence to transform Still & Moving into a nonprofit Community Center for all of us to keep and build into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, during our May Day celebration, Kumu M\u0101lia gave Mark his Hawaiian name: <\/span>Kahiau<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kahiau<\/span><\/em>. One who gives without expecting anything in return.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine a name that could fit Mark better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By Ren\u00e9e Tillotson with Doris Morisaki<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us knew Shaoshu Jiang as a precise, masterful Latin dancer who carried himself with immaculate poise and flair. We couldn\u2019t miss the chemistry he shared with his partner Monique. With their snap, their flourish, and their professional sass, they riveted our attention. During their many cha-cha-cha and rumba performances across our Barefoot Ballroom floor, we watched them spin, shimmy, glide, and dip with sparkling execution. For his exquisite synchronization with his beautiful partner and to the music \u2013 that\u2019s how many of us knew him.<\/span><\/p>\n

For some of us at Still & Moving who\u2019d known him longer, he was also a warm presence, seeking us out in a crowd to say hello and to give a hug. He\u2019d be overjoyed to see us if we crossed paths in town. He left fanfare behind when he left the dance floor, re-assuming something of a friendly, tech-nerd persona. Very endearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally from China, a few of us first met Shaoshu when he zoomed into our Satsang conversations from where he was living in Seattle - probably in 2020. As we all read the inspiring quotes for the week in the Still & Moving Center Almanac, Shaoshu\u2019s eager mind would always come up with questions I had never considered. Then he and I would both listen attentively to answers I had never given before! Hah! Not content to let statements of philosophy remain theoretical, Shaoshu was always eager to know how someone would<\/span> live<\/span><\/i> such ideas in daily life. When I\u2019d ask, he always offered perspectives from his rather progressive Chinese upbringing, and we\u2019d seek to integrate many points of view from around the world.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shaoshu moved to Honolulu with something of a lonely heart, knowing that he would at least find community here with us and with our mutual Still & Moving friend Miku Lenentine. As he evolved into a steadfast member of the Still & Moving <\/span>\u2019ohana<\/span><\/i> (family), Shaoshu gave more than he ever took. We always knew that an event of ours would be a great hit if Shaoshu and Monique showed up to teach, demo, or perform!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those of us who knew and loved him feel deprived of a light extinguished long before we would ever have wanted, as if a shadow is passing deeply through our being.\u00a0 We weren\u2019t expecting it from such vibrant young man.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will miss all that you gave for the love of dance and friendship, Shaoshu.<\/span> Mahalo nui loa <\/span><\/i>for your elegance, your radiant smile, your curiosity, and your warm, beautiful heart.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"2_5\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_6654-scaled.jpg\" title_text=\"shaoshu\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Shaoshu-Monique-Merry-23.jpeg\" title_text=\"Shaoshu & Monique - Merry '23\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_0280-scaled.jpg\" title_text=\"shaoshu\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_4106.jpeg\" title_text=\"Latin Dance\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC01965-scaled.jpeg\" title_text=\"shaoshu\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_6684.jpg\" title_text=\"shaoshu\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"30px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[125,143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-letter-from-the-director","category-magnificence-in-our-ohana"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCelebrating Magnificence in our 'Ohana: The Man Who Gives Things Another Life - Still & Moving Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/2026\/08\/celebrating-magnificence-in-our-ohana-the-man-who-gives-things-another-life\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Celebrating Magnificence in our 'Ohana: The Man Who Gives Things Another Life - Still & Moving Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Man Who Gives Things Another Life By Doris Morisaki & Sharonne Samiere Doctor.
