rippling reflections

I am learning to appreciate the beauty and the signs from Pachamama and my spirit guides. One of my favorite adventures, especially during travels, is to explore off the beaten path. When the vendor who was selling concoctions of coconut water and local fruit near Wailua Falls recommended exploring what nature had to offer near what the locals called 'Loop Road', my ears perked up. With the limited cell reception and unmarked roads, a pin drop in Google Maps served as our target.

It was not clear whether we ever found 'Loop Road', but sitting on a massive stone, surrounded by the streaming water from a babbling brook, I closed my eyes, absorbing the sounds, scents and touch of the magic of Pachamama. Similar to the cats roaming free in Morocco (kitty litter), Kauai was infested with chickens throughout the island, whether congregating in parking lots or grazing on the side of the road. Yet what in modern times are considered more farm animals than wild animals, they were in their element with the rainbow eucalyptus trees and the towering albizias.

In my quest to find 'Loop Road', we got lost, or perhaps from a different perspective, were found when we chanced upon a secluded reservoir. On a cloudy day, the reflections of the clouds in the sky were clearly imprinted upon the crystal water in the reservoir. As I explore the universal laws in spirituality, it reminded me of who and what we manifest in our lives that serve as mirrors of ourselves, and the progress we've made as well as the growth that is yet to come. When I first heard it, I am not sure that I fully understood it but one of guiding principles of late is "I heal you; I heal me. I heal me; I heal you." Understanding that we are all connected (Law of One) provides an aerial view of my responsibility in raising the collective consciousness in my accountability to working on me and assisting those around me who are external reflections of my internal self.
