"ALEEEEEE'EEEEEE!" exclaimed Fredrick, the owner of the Spirit of Aloha Botanical Gardens. As we were descending down the hill, I was captivated by a beautiful ocean view with dense foliage, an amazing first impression. When we got to the lower part of the garden, all I saw were graceful white birds and this elegant and dazzling peacock. On demand from Fredrick, Ali'i ruffled out his feathers with boldness. I was amazed! Fredrick took us into his dwelling to receive a little background of the garden. Fredrick handed out a brochure to each of us, which had 12 small and different features of the garden; all associated with one virtue. We all had to pick a certain virtue that matches our personality. After, we started our tour with my favorite quote from Fredrick, "Here is Grandmother Tree. Ask a question and she will answer." I asked a question and I did not receive an answer because I was not centered enough to hear her answer. The gardens were so gorgeous! I wonder how Fredrick managed to care for such a large area! Every time Fredrick whistled, the doves would come. It was amazing. At that moment, I knew I had come to a new realm of a positive perspective. To top that off, we reached the area where we gazed at the great blue ocean. There was no railing, it was a cliff. I felt that this area related to the limitless life we're living. It was so beautiful. I was sad that this tour had come to an end. There was more to discover, spiritually. I would like to thank Fredrick for giving me a positive outlook on life and for giving us the opportunity to "live" in his gardens.
