With sand in my toes I am sitting here on the deck watching the sun slowly fall from the Western sky into the Pacific. It is majestic. I wish I could put this feeling I feel in my bag and bring it back to share with you all. Life has moments like this...where things just slow down and feel good. I am glad to be feeling this right now.
We enjoyed a visit to the North shore today...who could resist the beach on our first day. The kids enjoyed swimming and I fell asleep on the beach. Bliss! We stocked up at Cosco and I was delighted to meet a guy named Sean who worked there. He was stacking the shelves and saw my VT hat. I realized that this local event for me had reverberated right here in Maui. Amazing. The people here have been so loving and friendly so far. I saw my first "shaka" when a person allowed another to cut in front of our traffic lane....really seems silly, but it was so cool to experience that. I listened to my Hawaiian CD in our car as we enjoyed our afternoon drive home. The music really goes with the scenery. Laid back, relaxing, and peaceful. God bless us all as we prepare for another day that will be filled with blessings...including an 8:30am Healing Eucharist service at St. Johns. There I will tell people about a friend of mine named Henry and his courage. In fact I found myself watching the windsurfers on the North shore flying through the water and found myself thinking about Michigan and how the Spirit is continuing to fill the sails of the seventh floor of the children's hospital. God is wonderful. It is hard to imagine someone living in this world without the ability to find God's pleasure in creation...and in the love of others. On that note I shall simply say Aloha...until next time.
