Today, I’m feeling thankful for my hanai auntie and uncle in Kona, who feel like family to me. I’m also thankful for my new hiking/exploration buddy (who I am so thankful for taking this picture). Even though I’m still feeling the call to explore other islands, I’m feeling so thankful to have an opportunity for mutually-uplifting conversations before I set out. 🌞 #OahuSoon

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 🛩

Although it would be easy
To run it through a filter
I shall refrain, this entry
Better to see its TRUE COLORS
And even better still to witness
The disasters down in Leilani
With your OWN two eyes… and marvel.

What is fixed?
What is permanent?
In this ever-flowing,
Ever-changing
UNIVERSE
Of warm light,
Lava rock,
And Ocean?
Hawaii is a focal,
A point of change
Formed by a hotspot
In the middle of the ocean.
How remarkable,
So blessed I am
To live
On an Improbable Rock
