A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Paulus,
And I wanted to talk about the absolute beauty in life.
There is so much.
Beauty that we can find.
Like living in a world of art.
We are living in this living energy.
It's beautiful.
Display.
Of light and dark and.
.
.
The images that are created by nature that surround us.
Are absolutely stunning.
And sometimes we get so busy that we don't take the time to really be aware of how beautiful life really is.
Life is absolutely gorgeous.
And it's always nice for me to be able to get out.
In nature.
And I do that by taking a walk.
And on the walk,
I always see something that reminds me of this beauty that exists in nature.
And I'd like to encourage people to always be able to be open to see this beauty.
And if it takes for you going out to a lovely spot,
Perhaps in a nature area around you or someplace you can go to that is really Awesome.
It can be.
So mind expanding and so inspiring.
That it's worth it to go to that place and spend some time.
And not to be distracted by other things,
Not to be doing other things,
But to just be.
Just be and be aware.
And that.
Amazing.
Environment of how special.
And how beautiful life is.
This gift of nature,
This gift of being here on this planet.
Is very,
Very precious and valuable.
We all know that,
Unfortunately.
A lot is being done that can damage our natural environment.
Really obligated to take care.
Of these special places,
To be aware of them,
To take care of them,
To love them,
To share them,
To inspire others as well.
With what we can see.
And what we can feel.
And how it can be in this wonderful natural environment.
This gift is precious gift.
Of being aware of the beauty of life.
Is something that we can all experience.
And it is such a wonderful thing to do.
And I know some people do it maybe once a week.
I like to take walks every day.
I like to go out in nature every day.
Sometimes weather keeps you from doing that.
I live on Maui.
I have to admit it's a lot easier here on Maui.
I don't have the experience of it being over 100 degrees,
And I don't have the experience of it snowing outside.
This is really a perfect environment to be able to experience the beauty of nature here on Maui.
So I do like to take advantage of that and I like to share.
In the beauty that I see by either taking a picture or writing a poem about it.
And you can do the same thing.
You will find that when you're open to expressing and feeling and sharing that beauty,
That it's truly an energy that can be shared in such a way that you feel united with others who appreciate it as well.
And if you do,
I really appreciate you and you taking the time.
To feel and understand this gift that we have.
This precious,
Precious gift that we have.
That we are given in nature.
So that was just what I wanted to share with you today.
And I bow in deepest gratitude for you taking the time to listen and being aware of that.
If in a breath you breathe in the grace of heaven.
And find that place where we can meet.
In that moment you can pass into the realm of angels.
And discover the secret so deep.
Between the thought.
A being.
There in the love that we share.
Deep in your heart,
You will find the peace.
That answers your every prayer.
Hold that sweet,
Sweet vision.
Until you come to see the light.
At the source that guides you.
That finds your way to peace.
The world's in such need of healing.
And of each heart.
Could just believe.
This love is all we need in life.
And the path to peace is our destiny.
The gift is always waiting.
It's a gift there within you and me.
If in a breath you find heaven.
Please bring that heaven to your reality.
The Prince of Peace sends blessings so the world can live in harmony.
And as each soul discovers it.
This love and forgiveness.
Will set you free.
