May we build structures that do not take away from the natural surroundings but add more beauty to them.
May we walk lightly and silent
May we learn to live in harmony with the natural world.
May all beings, including planets, animals, insects, ect… Be well!

This past week I stayed on the sunshine coast with my aunt and uncle. My uncle is a master gardener and I had the pleasure of assisting him throughout the week. What I found really inspired was that the projects did not take away from the natural beauty, only added to it. So often landscapers clean the pallet and create their own form of art… I believe gardens, like the Tofino Botanical, should just high-lite what’s already before us and add to it! Put a bench there, the trail around that bend, a platform here and a swing there. All to enjoy the beauty.
Back to the cougar… Yesterday my uncle and a friend were pulling my tail and said “look there’s a cougar!” I am quite gullible most the time and almost believed the house cat to be a small cougar… As i have never seen a cougar in the wild. Until this morning.
The universe is so funny… So obvious.. And not very random.
This morning on the way to the ferry at 530am, in the dark, driving fast down a steep hill a cougar jumped in front of our car. This cat could never be mistaken for a house cat..
As the cougar jumped in front our vision, mid-flight it turned it’s head and looked straight at the 3 of us…. what a beautiful moment! Time stopped! I can still see it’s face, unforgettable.
My uncle had only seen a cougar once, 15 years ago; our other friend and I had never.
What are the chances? Speaking and joking about it the day before and now nature shows it’s self. Cougar’s are the ones that see and so rairly reveal themselfs. Thank you cougar for gracing us with your presence.
It’s great how we manifest!
Today I will be very receptive to the universe’s messages and reminders!

In kipahulu it has been 2 months since rain and as it is rainy season, we are all praying.
Every drop of water is thoughtfully used.
As most people here are farmers they are very passionate about thanking the earth for soil and food.
May all beings feel grateful for air, the one breath; always moving through us.
Grateful for fire, the sun, the heart, the centre of the earth and our soul.
Grateful for space, for the ability to be conscious of all these wonders. The ability to remember that we are all connected and made from 5 elements.
On this path of life, gratitude is a magic wand!!!

This morning Jana and I lead the retreat group up the volcano on Maui, to watch the sunrise! 9000 feet high of goodness! The altitude and the rising sun where both enough to take my breath away. To balance the awe and the thin air I just breathed in really deep , with absolute gratitude! Wish you were here!
