Brevity and Riches of Life ~ Waikamoi Rainforest Maui Hawai'i
“Live ye slow, live ye easy… So sayeth the sky, So echo the trees So too echoes the wind.” ~ from Hiro Nagata’s “Brevity and Riches of Life”
From my collection:
Whispers of the Enchanted Forests
“Lilinoe ~ a cool caressing mist, at times opaque and others rainbow-hued. Hu’ihu’i, frosty icicles exuding the spectrum of colour from leaves of red and green. Ka wailele ~ the trickle and rush of a stream cascading over waterfalls” ~ Eric Andersen
