thought it was the Perfect Peace.
The second painting also had mountains, but these mountains were
dark and foreboding. On the top of them was a furious sky with rain
and thunders and lightening, and a flooded river rushing in a torrent
down the mountain, destroying everything in it's path. All this did not
look peaceful at all but when the King looked carefully at it, he saw
behind all that rain, a small bush growing from the side of the
mountain. In this bush was the nest of a bird. There, in the middle of
that big storm, was this little bird sitting peacefully on the nest. THE
PERFECT PEACE!
The King gave the prize to the second painting. Why? Because the
Perfect Peace doesn't mean to be in a place with no problems, without
hard work or pain. Perfect Peace means that no matter what, no matter
how tough life is outside, we will be calm within our own hearts.
This is the true meaning of Perfect Peace. May Peace be with you
always!... Gypsy

Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.
Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and
flourish.
Unite the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the
entanglement of past mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but
illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground, and the fruitful vision, and the birth power, and fulfillment, as all is
gathered and made whole once again.

This comes from Christina a student in Hawaii.
PELE VOLCANO GODDESS:The goddess Pele to the Hawaiian people, is the best-known
and most revered of all gods and goddesses, and is still worshipped in these modern times.
She has several forms. Those who have "encountered" her describe her as a beautiful,
young woman with flowing hair which can be black, blonde, or, if she is angry, red. The
latter colors are unlike the natural coloring of Hawaiian people, but since they are
contained in the range of volcano colors, it is not difficult to understand the Hawaiians'
description of the goddess.
She was just as often seen as an old hag. Whether young or old, she was often
accompanied by a small dog.
Hundreds of stories are recounted by Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike about driving
down a road and seeing either the young woman or the old hag walking or just standing by
the side of the road. It was considered bad luck not to offer her a ride. She would never
speak, and before the car or wagon would reach its destination she would disappear. If she
was not offered a ride, the car would mysteriously stall somewhere along the way.
