Come to Maui...

So, here's the thing about living in Maui, especially in Hana...

When the sun

hits the water,

there's nothing I can compare it to

to explain how clear it is,

so clear you can see your toes

fish

coral

rocks

turtles

sand.

Running is so much better here

when the sun

is going down and the clouds look like

mountains.

Huge

giant

ethereal

mountains of white and gold and pink,

and the prehistoric

teradactyl-looking

birds

are silhouetted

against the white.

Swimming at sunset,

the water rippling and glassy and warm,

the clouds awash with color,

friends on the beach

talking

laughing

living.

Rain, pounding on the roof of a tiny cabin,

so hard that

no

other

sound

exists.

Jungle oustide

shaking, trembling, bearing

the onslaught of wind and water

while

I,

safe and dry inside,

revel in the eye of the storm.

Ha, that's me waxing poetic about the joys of living in such a beautiful place...there really is no way to describe with words or pictures or video how amazing it feels...the smell after the rain, the sound of the birds, the water and sun on your skin, the taste of the fresh fruit picked right off the tree, the look of the sunset over the water (that I can see right now from my computer). It might be rainy season, but it is still so awesome to live here, and I hope that you get to come see it with your own eyes.

I can't wait to see SF and my friends and family with my own eyes in Dec when I come back to visit....
