Palai


Ma'ema'e wale ke kino o ka palai
Pulupe_ i ka ua li 'ili'i kilikilihune
A he wehi ia no_ ka uka o ka nahele
He moani ke 'ala i lawe 'ia mai,
Hu'ihu'i, konikoni e

So clean is the body of the fern
Wet in fine and gentle rain
Adornment of the forest upland
And the bearer of sweetness,
Coolness, and palpitations

Na'au


It is important to see
beyond what the eyes can see,
listen for things that are not said
and recognize what your na'au (gut instinct)
already knows.

Nature is one of our greatest healers.
There is healing in the wind,
the sun, the moon,the stars,
the ocean, the stones,
the songs of the birds and the flowers.
It is for us to trust this is so
and allow ourselves to receive.
