Serendipitous, Beautamous, Hawaii
Pele received us to the island with a warm and embracing hug. We were met at the airport and whisked away to an already set-up campsite by the friend of a friend named Pamela Sue, surely an angel in disguise. A better hostess could not be imagined. She met our fiend River on this very same island a few years back via the juggling community here called Belly Acres which we have yet to visit but are anxiously anticipating.
We arrived after dark, threw our things down and went straight to the ocean for a full moonlight skinny dip. Beautiful!
We awoke the next morning to dolphins playing within reach and whales waving their tails at us from a stone's throw further. Beautiful!
On a short walk to see a blow hole in a rocky shore, we met two locals tending to some property who offered us coconuts, avocados and tales of growing up on the island. We've been gifted avocados twice since, big and delicious. Beautiful!
A man approached our picnic table (a common occurrence in our friendly campgrounds) recognizing P.S. from the other side of the island where they both live. Turned out he was another person we'd been in contact with through another friend. He had been casual with previous contacts, but has no invited us to stay at his place for a few days later in our visit here. Beautiful!
We were caught in a rare rain storm on the "dry" side of the island and took refuge in athe shelter of some nearby campers, one of whom is a singer, dancer, and ukelele player that used to work with "Iz". He told us great stories and serenaded us in English, Hawaiian and Japanese while we shared food and laughter. Beautiful!
After scrambling up some lava rocks above the beach this morning, Becky and I explored the depths of an old lava tube, a cave hollowed out by flowing lava years and years ago. It was so dark and quiet inside that light and sound seemed practically nullified like in a black hole. That is, what I imagine a black hold would be like having never actually entered one. It was both creepy and cool in equal measure. Beautiful!
Its nice to be out in the world again, its nice to slow down, remember my breathing and open myself to whatever opportunity presents itself. When I am open the whole world is open to me. Can't wait to see what finds me!
