ISLAND HONI

My soul soars in the company of Hawaii.

My return to the islands four years after my local family found each other in Wakiki has left me with a feeling of HARMONY. Hawaiian air, people, history and most of all the water renew my tropical passions. I am reminded they will forever exist, forever grow no matter how much life I live.

I swim therefore I am.

I stood in the reef and swayed with the tides as I watched my underwater friends amuse themselves while playing around my feet. The intensity of the beauty around and within caused waves of strength to splash my spirit. There is power in knowing you believe in yourself because you wouldn’t change your journey. My soul admires me for teaching it how to swim through life in colorful, cool movement.

Learning to heal with remembering, not regretting.

Saying goodbye to the islands will always fill me with sweet sadness. The rawest forms of heart break and heart beat rest only on their sandy beaches, bathes only in their ocean oasis.

My heart understands it is time to love with clarity.

I chose to walk away from love and the Hawaiian islands, fortunately the purity of the islands have not walked away from my soul.
