Maunaleo ~ Journey With Spirit

Featured Art 17 February 2009 In Another World
Featured Art May 2009_ Inspired Art

This is one of my signature pieces, a composite of seven of my images blended into one using photographs I have taken on the lava seacliffs of Wai’anapanapa Maui Hawai’i blended with Alaska skies and an enormous full moon.
Wai’anapanapa is a beautiful state park and a protected sacred area here on Maui. It is also where Jacob and I married.

Maunaleo ~ Journey With Spirit is dedicated with deepest respect and appreciation for Keali’i Reichel.

This beautiful mele is one of my favourites and I love the gentle power of his angelic voice. It is the beautiful Maunaleo mele Keali’i composed for his beloved Mother, Lei.

“Carleton Lewis Keali’inaniaimokuokalani Reichel (born 1962) popularly known as Keali’i Reichel, is a popular and bestselling singer, songwriter, choreographer, dancer, chanter, scholar, teacher, and personality from the State of Hawai’i. He has spent his life educating the world about Hawaiian culture through music and dance. Maunaleo is one of his most beautiful songs and one of my favourites!
Lyrics Source: Keali`i Reichel album “Melelana” Copyright 1999 Punahele, Inc. – “Composed for Keali`i’s mother Lei, she is compared to the majestic sentinel mountain, Maunaleo, who guards, comforts, nourishes and loves her people.

Mälie is the gentle wind of the area. ~ Maunaleo – Words by Keali`i Reichel & Puakea Nogelemeier, Music by Keali`i Reichel ~

“He aloha nö `o Maunaleo
I lohia e ke kilihuna
Kohu `ahu`ao no ka uka
He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë
He kamalei, kamahiwa pä i ka lani ë
ka lani ë

He aloha nö `o Maunaleo
I lohia e ke kilihuna
Kohu `ahu`ao no ka uka
He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë
He kamalei, kamahiwa pä i ka lani ë
ka lani ë

Po`ohina i ka `ohu kolo
Kahiko no ka poli `olu
Apo `ia e nä kualono
He hi`ina, hi`ialo, alohaë
Hi`ipoli, hi`ilei, hi`ilanië
ilanië

Eia ku`u lei aloha
No Maunaleo i ka nani
`Ohu`ohu i ka Mälie
He kamalani kamaehu kau i ka hanoë
He kamalei, hamahiwa pä i ka lani e
ka lani e

No Maunaleo ke aloha kü i ka la`i e

Aloha ë, alohaë ~

Beloved indeed in Maunaleo ~
Sparkling in the light, wind-blown rain.

A finely woven cloak for the highlands.
A cherished one, respected for power and strength.
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.
Capped by the silver of the rolling mists.
An adornment for that gentle heart.
Embraced by the surrounding ridges.
One to hold close, to hold near, to love.
One dear to the heart, precious, exalted.
This is my garland of affection for Maunaleo in its beauty.
Glorified by the Mälie breeze.
A cherished one, respected for power and strength.
Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.
For Maunaleo is the serenity of deep love.
Beloved are you, beloved indeed.” ....
