He Mele Aloha no ka Niu
By Brandy Nālani McDougall
I’m so tired of pretending
each gesture is meaningless,
that the clattering of niu leaves
and the guttural call of birds
overhead say nothing.
There are reasons why
the lichen and moss kākau
the niu’s bark, why
this tree has worn
an ahu of ua and lā
since birth. Scars

A FRIEND WHO CARES
Stop trying to fix others.
Instead, love them where they are.
Radiate presence in their presence.
Sing 'Hallelujah' to their wounds.
Then, held in your tender embrace,
they may feel healed, even through their pain.
Even if they never ‘heal’,
they are healed, for a moment.
We are all waiting
to be touched by God.
Or by a friend who cares.
(Which is the same thing, really.)
Love is the greatest medicine
of all.
- Jeff Foster

"I am going to venture that the man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures, and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization.”
