An arched rainbow A pathway of the Higher Spirit Peace resonates within In the face of the Heavens Beauty upon my eyes A reflection of a mountain Indeed a majestic mountain Appearing before me Here I am Peaceful one An unconditional relationship Found deep within the forest I am here In the face of the Higher Spirit Here I am Peaceful one |
Maluhia, ma hea ia? Ua ho’oulu ‘ia ka pi’o o ke ānuenue, he ala o ke Akua. Nānā wale maila ka u’i o ke Akua a kau a’ela ka maluhia o loko nei. Aia ka maluhia i laila! Noho ihola ka nani o ku’u ‘ike i mua ho’i o ka mauna kū kilakila o ka lani. Aia ka maluhia i laila! I ka nahelehele ia, pili maila ke ola o ka waolani i ka noho pili wale ‘ana me ke Akua. Aia ka maluhia i laila! Eia maila ē, ka Maluhia ē. Huli ‘ole ka maluhia i waho o ke ola, aia ka maluhia i loko laila. E ho’oulu ia!
Peace, where is it? Inspired indeed by the arched rainbow, the path of the Higher Spirit. The splendor of the Higher Spirit is seen as the peace resonates from within. Peace is there! Indeed beauty to my eyes presented upon the majestic mountain radiantly within the heavens. Peace is there! Upon the depths of the forest an unconditional relationship is endured with the Higher Spirit. Peace is there! Rejoice, the peaceful one! Seek never the peace outside of your life, peace is found within. Inspire!
He Aloha o Mauna Kea
Na Kumu Keala Ching
| Aia e ka uka mauna o Wakea Wakea o ka lani, kau mai i luna I luna o ke ao, wahi maluhia ‘Ilihia ke aloha, kau i ka poli Lipolipo ka ‘i’ini e ku’u ola E ola mau loa no nā kau a kau E ola mau loa no nā kau a kau |
High above the temple of Wakea Majestically is Wakea on high Peaceful indeed above the clouds A reverent unity within the heart My life is my deep wishes Longevity forever Longevity forever |
Maluhia, aia i uka o Mauna Kea! I ka nani o ka maluhia, pili maila me ke Akua i luna o ke ao. ‘Ilihia a’ela ke aloha mai loko mai o ka ‘i’ini o ke ola o’u a e ola mau loa no nā kau a kau! E ho’oulu ia!
Peace is found upon Mauna Kea! A peaceful beauty is indeed the unconditional love of the Higher Spirit high above the clouds. A reverent unity found deep within one’s life, longevity forever. Inspire!
The inspiration of Maluhia and He Aloha o Mauna Kea speaks to the turmoil of our daily lives as we seek a genuine peaceful moment to inspire the longevity our lives. Longevity is the removal of barriers, the ability to unite a common perspective, the forgiveness of one’s faults and failure, the inspiration of an unconditional unity, the recognition of peace found within and the acknowledgement of one’s gift and living it. Recognize that the Higher Spirit is within every image—you! Inspire a generation, we must! ❖
