Photo: A Shift to Explore Oahu Soon


Do I love this island? Yes. Do I also think that Life is inviting me to explore way beyond here? Yes.
⁣⁣
⁣And it’s not just because that 95% of the people I seem to resonate the most with (& are willing/able to plan things with me) inevitably leave the island within a month or less. Maybe it’s because I’m a planner, and that’s not the flow here? Or maybe this island already taught me the lessons that I needed to learn here, and life is inviting me to continue exploring. 🌍 Those of you who have read “Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise” may recall my reference to Europe at the end of that…
⁣⁣
⁣For now, I’m feeling the pull to explore Oahu, and then beyond. Just going to get my 2nd #Moderna shot in a couple weeks and the sky is the limit! ️ Don’t get me wrong, I still care about people on this island; but the pandemic has completely changed the energy of this place for me, and I feel a strong call to move the energy around. 🕺
⁣⁣
⁣Thanks for being a good hiking buddy, Leah, even if you weren’t here that long. I enjoyed (& continue to enjoy) our conversations very much. You have a sharp mind and a lot of energy. And I hope our paths cross again I’m sure I’ll be back in California, more likely heading through, in the foreseeable future 🛩

Photo: Hiking Waikoloa Petroglyph Preserve


Glimpse from 2 months ago
A hike like this, I shall not forgo!
So I locked up my bike
By the trailhead, dreamlike
And beheld a petroglyph fandango!
⁣⁣
⁣(I am still so humbled and in awe of the Native Hawaiians. A sign nearby said that “between 1400-1800 A.D., Hawaiians traveled through this area, using many small, inland caves or they constructed stone windbreaks for temporary encampments. These #petroglyphs, or carvings in the rock, we’re often made as an account of their visit. Some petroglyphs may record trips; others may identify rituals such as those performed at birth and to ensure a long life. A wide variation of these petroglyphs have been preserved in the lava fields ahead.”

⁣Have you been here? What did you think? I recently got a pretty bad hand injury so your responses will help distract me from that 🤪

It’s 4/20 — Who wants to get high with me? 😉 🏔
⁣⁣
⁣Seriously, I still haven’t touched snow here! I’m taking applications for somebody who is brave enough to hitchhike from the visitor center with me. Or even better, has a vehicle with four-wheel-drive. Let’s split gas! Let’s go before it melts in a couple weeks. Just reach out to me 🥳
