A rainy day in Paradise
I woke up to the coo of turtle doves and reminded me of a love song. The sky was gray and the clouds hung heavy. It was going to be a rainy day in Upcountry. When I dropped Becca off at work Kihei they sky was dotted with sunshine and the rain was not falling to the ground. I went to sit near the beach and just watch, I have been feeling a little disassociated and this was the perfect time to reconnect. As I settled in there was a rainbow that appeared and one of the ends was just off the beach in the ocean.
I knew that the pot of gold was there underwater safe and sound. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a HUGE splash from a humpback whale the keepers of the pot of gold. The whales are here to calve and to mate. As I adjusted my line of site I saw what looked to be a pectoral fin slap and a larger tail slap. Oh how I do admire these gentle giants and can’t wait to get underwater with them.
The rain always helps to set me up for an introspective journey and so I feel that I am living that quote…”you can never go home”. I do love Maui and have always felt loved here . I am just very aware it is changing like the rest of the planet, new faces, different store fronts, new buildings, and new roads. I am glad to be here and to know that it is my Ocean Paradise.
