`O Ka Lei La`i

(the Ti Leaf Lei)

Translation

By Keith Haugen

The ti leaf lei is entwined
With a variety of pretty flowers
The ti leaf lei is entwined
With the beautiful flowers of Hawai`i

A common lei today
Given with love
A long lasting green lei
Like true love

Let' you and I select some flowers
And weave them with moist leaves
A sign of our love
Like a ti leaf lei forever.

Thoughts on the Co-Creative Forces Between Humanity and Nature

"A magnificent soul potential, somewhat like the energy of a butterfly is about to be born within the heart of humanity.

For those of us who have lived very close to nature and kin to fairy folk could describe this Awakening as the Quintessence of the Soul. The quintessence is the soul of the flower, the sweet beauty that occupies the inner domain of every plant.

You see, we breathe this energy into our body each time we walk through the forest or stop to engage with the flowers.

There is a connection between the soul and the butterfly in Greek mythology, which says that the human soul becomes a butterfly while searching for a new incarnation.

The process of transformation is extremely powerful in our lives as we search for a broad understanding of the future and a gentle surrender to the past.

As we emerge from old wounds, we take on new colors and wear new wings of hope-much like the butterfly miraculously spiraling from the dark cocoon. This butterfly is released into the light and is offered new conscious awareness.

This may very well be happening in your life right now.

This winged message is a reminder that love, soul unity, and nature is transforming our lives every second. An inspired rebirth is taking place. It's time to reveal your true colors. The flight has begun."
