Unbelievably the universe provided another opportunity for healing and growth, and allowed me to return to Maui...two eventful years later. It is mid September and just over a month ago I did not know what I was going to do after Three Mile Island, until Maui called. So now, as I write, I have my back turned to the night time view of Maui's few city lights and the outlines of the West Maui mountains juxtaposed against the curvature of the ocean. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Maui will hold space for me during the next 5 weeks as I reconnect with the island's beauty, culture, majesty, and healing capabilities.
I have only been on the island for about 4 days now and have already walked the south side beach coast twice, sunbathed, napped at Kanaha beach park (where I use to be a windsurfing groupie), cruised Hookipa (another popular surf spot), walked under a double rainbow with a good friend and her beautiful baby boy, and enjoyed a Maui taco baby, yeah! Maui is pretty much the same. Same exact "Groundhog Day" weather, same big trucks blasting reggae, same windy beaches that leave me with sand in every crevice, and even the same hobos hitchin for rides. It is really a strange feeling to be back here with everything so much the same and with my life being completely different. Honestly, I can not describe in words how it feels and can only come up with "It feels weird." But, at the same time, it is a good weird. New life, old life, past, present, it is all part of the same crazy journey that I am happy to be a part of. It is a blessing to be back here in this beautiful time capsule of the world. Can't wait to see what this next month will bring...stay posted...Aloha.
