Kaʻū Mele: The Active Present

By Stephanie Ansley

Looking to the future with an eye clouded by the past

Alternating turmoil within & without

Listening brings its own freedom

Be still

Be simple

Be open

The more you listen, the greater is the silence.

Listening is the way to understanding.

Look with intensity

Careful listening

Brings clarity & inner strength.

Alive; intense

Healthy & strong

Acting with certainty;

confident, secure

Symmetry and order prevails in all of nature.

The balance of a leaf

The sunrise and sunset

The revolution of the Earth and

The Earth’s revolution around the Sun.

My feeling for you is like that

It has always been

It will always be

Complete

Constant

Full circle

Timeless

A quiet mind is an observant mind.

A truth seeker must truly listen and look.

Wisdom is something that must be discovered

By each one; individually

By experience; collectively, through process

It is not the result of knowledge.
