Garden of Light I: Encounter
Kuluiwaa Falls, Hawaii

Welcome to the Garden of Light.

This palace is blessed by the deepest vegetation, most sparkling waters and most fragrant rainbow mists. Leaves shimmer at the wisp of a thought: the tropics blossom upon a smile or the touch of a helping hand. Carpets of leaves and grass, nurtured by the sound of our chosen beginning, absorb our feet and cushion our next step. The Garden orchestrates in twenty renditions of green, opening our hearts, spreading our song.

Lights of every color shine within and beyond the Garden of Light. Sunscapes illuminate the forest; the lifestream flows onward. White beams retain the thought behind the garden's creation: the succession of right choices, moments of growth, generation of feelings and seasons of change which have propelled the Garden to this very moment.

It is in this moment, this speck of perfection fortified by an eternal core, that the Garden shines most brightly. Love cannot be expressed more openly or fully than in this moment, our collective global tick. The Garden sparkles in its grandest attire.

The Garden of Light is an amazing, heavenly place. It seems so divine and distant that we forget about its bountiful truth: the Garden is within us. It always was. It always will be. When we recognize it in our hearts and allow it to become the focus of our lives, the Garden of Light enables us to celebrate our eternal love, strength, divinity and light. It grows. We grow.

Is there a greater joy?
