Reflections of My Wide Blue Seas
Reflections of My Wide Blue Seas Near Pohiki Puna
Its that moment that I have been dreading... The end of my time here. I want to thank all of you that have been so encouraging to me as I pass through this journey. I had a friend of Woody's tell us at breakfast that she as a locally born person has rarely seen the kind of efforts that we made to stay. We never held this dear place too cheaply. As I looked out today at the mist shrouded Mauna Kea flanks I know in my heart that we gave it our best shot...
It is all one can do...
It has been my heart's delight that you have favored me with your reading of my blog. I in no wise intend to stop writing, but Hawaii may only be a occasional topic now as I visit new places and traverse new seas. I have thousands of photos yet unposted and I hope to be able to continue to post one a day and show you new places as I discover them.
For the next few weeks posting may be spotty but I hope to get to a computer and update you on all of our adventures. Next stop Houston/Conroe/Montgomery, Texas...For Woody, Makoa, Ka Nani and myself... We fly out 10 am and by the time we make connections and fly accross the great sea it will be 8 am 4-16 CST... I will think about those courageous people on board the voyaging canoes that traversed the Pacific, and follow the star that is set before me...
