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 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 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.

WarWoman Dell is located in Northeast, Georgia in a small town called Clayton. If you would like the read the whole entry for this, please go to my Squidoo lens at- http://www.squidoo.com/warwomandell A Brief History: WarWoman was a beloved Cherokee dignitary who voiced the decision of the Council on war and peace. These “pretty women” had the power to decide the fate of captives. Legend states that each spring this woman visited the Dell to preside over rituals. America’s first natural-born botanist, William Bartram, explored the area in the 1770’s. He documented the plants, climate, geology and culture of the people of this period and paved the way for future development. A railroad bed was constructed here which would have connected the south and mid-western markets in Cincinnati. Work stopped suddenly at the beginning of the Civil War and no rails were ever laid. Unmanaged logging in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s degraded the forests. The Civilian Conservaation Corps (CCCs) went to work restoring the land by planting trees and controlling erosion. Enrollees in Company 457 built the original picnic shelters, fish holding tanks, latrine and stonework drains in Warwoman Dell. My Recent Visit to WarWoman: I was introduced to WarWoman Dell after attending a Woman’s Ceremony that was held in that general area many moons ago. The second my feet touched the ground of WarWoman I was in love. This is a place that no matter where I moved, always stayed in my heart. WarWoman Dell, is among one of my sacred sanctuaries. The thought of being there again has brought me back to Georgia a few times after leaving it. I hope that I can put this lens together in a way so you can feel the beauty of this place. In order to do that, I have a feeling I will be jumping around a bit. I want to start with an experience I had at WarWoman just recently (Sept. 2008). Right by these steps (please see my picture entitled: Step into my World) use to be this HUGE rock. It’s energy was amazing, it always reminded me of a DoorMan, inviting guest into a grand hotel. Now the rock is no longer there. I really do not know what happened to it, but it is gone. During my visit I noticed many trees were down, some were partly cut and others just laid across the paths and across the creeks. The Trails looked like no one has walked them in a very long time. It saddened me, because this use to be a Spiritual Gathering place for many people and today it felt empty. The energy was almost non-existent, it did not feel as inviting as it did in the past. As I left, my spirit weeped for the energy that I once felt there.

In today’s time, when aimlessness and defeat often strike down our ability to survive our conditions, we begin to wonder why it is we have to suffer. In the days ahead we will begin to know more about the struggle to survive which is only a perception of false attitudes and belief systems that have been downloaded without recognition stored within out subconscious. This false sense of struggle to survive is only part of the larger Divine plan to awaken us to the truth of whom and what we are. Without the polarities of life, the ebbs and flows, ups and downs, we would continue to think we are our false selves. The Essence of Being is a collection of art that demonstrates our lightness of being and our forgotten selves. It is through this light that we came into the world and we leave out of this world as infinite beings continuing our creativity with renewed enlightenment realized through constant change. Through this conditioning, we are able to withstand the ups and downs of the illusory world we call reality. The Essence of Being is based upon science and mysticism. Within each painting is sacred geometry, biology and spiritual knowledge to enrich the soul as part of an effort for the viewer to uncover our unlimited potential. As we approach 2012, we are on a fast track to a new world of peace, harmony, love and joy for all.

Wow, I am so happy. Mother Nature is Beautiful has just been featured in the Dimension Art Group, thank you so much Sharon. This makes NINE features for this work!!!! I am so glad that people like it. This work literally grew from a small beinning of one flower, and then I just kept adding things till it was fully grown, so to speak. I am very fascinated with mother Nature, as we can learn so much from her. She is always renewing and healing, no matter what happens to her, I believe the human race can learn so much if we take the time to look and learn about nature. Don’t know if anyone remembers the book and film The Secret Life of Plants it was so inspiring for me. Peter Tomkins and Christopher Bird say that plants have emotions, feelings and that there is a spiritual relationship between man and plants. Great read if you can get it, makes you see the earth in a different way! Anyway I am so happy that people love this work, it means alot to me.
