The Butterfly Orchid of the Seven Sacred Falls of Hana. I found this orchid at the top of the falls as I baptized my chakras of all impurity and where I prayed for my own salvation and for my memory to return and for the bleeding of my soul to cease. I bathed in each pool until I reached the top and their was the Butterfly Orchid wavering in the Island wind and its scent was a combination of peaches and plumeria. It whispered, Michael you are going to get what you pray for, it is running towards you now as you smell my fragance. It is on its way to you. Remember the secret path. It is on its way to you. written by miguel. copy right by Michael Forbus

The tapestry of amethyst and gray stretches before me, A circular path with turns and twists. I stand at the entrance with questions: Which way do I go? Which path do I follow? Hesitant to begin the journey. Uncertain of what may be revealed. A deep breath for courage Hands clasped before me in strength. A single step forward I enter. I feel the warm textures of the tapestry, A comforting, soothing touch beneath my feet. Cautiously, carefully keeping to the narrow path Following every changing direction Placing one foot, then the next Moving closer towards the center. This ancient sacred path traveled by many in places near and far, in times present and long ago, I share the experience with those walking, A timeless connection to past, present and future. All deep in thought, solitude, and contemplation, Searching for answers in the midst of confusion Lost within the maze. My breathing becomes more rhythmic. An easy natural rate My mind begins to focus on the constant pace of walking, breathing, of just being. All cares and problems abandoned. My heart opens to hear the inner voice. Passing by others, each on their own private quest Searching for hopes and dreams, for answers to questions that remain unspoken. Quietly yielding to those who must stay true to the path. At times my steps may falter, I hesitate which direction to turn, but I return anew to the course. Step by step, each turn and twist I progress to the center, closer to finding my truth. Steady on the path to dreams, to healing, and to answers. Cleansing the mind. Mending the spirit. Healing the soul. At the heart of this labyrinth-- a quiet solitude A tranquil place to stay, to escape A respite from the turmoil of the outside world A place of rest and peace, of renewal. Time passes swiftly and soon I must depart. Reluctantly, I leave this haven with a promise to return again. A breath to center Hands free at my sides Silently, steadily Following the intricate ancient path I begin the journey home. I am met by others on their quest A respectful glance A shared smile A knowing of the common joyous experience. As I walk the path home my answer is revealed Restoring the faith, the belief and the trust Knowing that in time the true path will appear. This time, a new road a new path a new way of healing. I emerge, Transformed. Kirsti A. Dyer MD, MS Beautiful piece michael...as alwaysthea walstra 10 May 2006
