Can you paint with all the colours of the wind ?

Aloha !

OMG !  Today, I saw a hula done to to the Song " Colors of the Wind ! :"  It was beautiful and my mission is to learn the hula to this , as this is very much me . It is exactly the same song as most of you know it, with the exception that they changed a few words, such as changing the word ' wolves '  to ' whales '  and ' sycamore ' is replace by ' Banyan tree '    . First I have to get the music ! Guess I will have to get it in Hawaii .  The song is mostly known as the theme song to the Disney movie " Pocahontas "  . The song sums us pretty much how I think  . I use to listen to it a lot on the way to work out to UBC on the bus. I have very fond memories of listening to this song sung by Vanessa Williams back in 2004 / 2005  , on the bus with Sven. Sven would get on the bus the same time I did at Waterfront Station and we would ride out to UBC listening to my CDs , me giving him one of my earphones. Listened to a lot of Izzy and bellydance music ,Otmar Lieber , Andrea Botcelli , among many others on my commute to work . But this song, I listened to a lot , on repeat . It is also beautifully sung by Vanessa Williams in Spanish , and I have that version too. I don't think many people really listen to the lyrics or understand it . Here are the lyrics and the song :

Colors of the Wind


You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind



I will be painting with all the colours of the wind in Kalani........ Yes, I can paint with all the colours of the wind. That has always been deep within me.....I will paint with all the colours of the rainbow too ........I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to go to Kalani ...... Kalani Honua......Heaven on Earth .

We are all able to paint with all the colours of the wind with our spirit. You do not need a paint brush . Kalani has been calling me for a very very long time , only, I did not know where the calling was coming from.  " To everything there is a Season, a Time and Purpose under Heaven...."  Ecclesiates 3:1
My time and purpose truly is to be in Kalani . This is truly a deep knowing within my heart and spirit. God is sending me to Heaven on Earth.

We are truly " connected to each other , in a circle , in a hoop that never ends . "


Blessings to you all , my dear Family , Friends and Visitors to my blog.

With much Aloha,
Molly
