“live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each… Open all your pores and breathe in all the tides of nature, in all her streams and oceans, at all seasons.” – Thoreau
As one season of my life quietly transitions to the next, I embrace the possibilities of the current juncture. Although my physical location may change, I take with me infinite experiences that have shaped my being. My eyes have photographed stunning images that will dance in my mind long after I depart. I’ve memorized mountain ridges and waves, westside beaches and glows from a boundless sunset. I could never truly leave as pieces of my heart are dispersed all over this island.
I resolve to be more like nature with the intention to live a season in it’s entirety and recognize its temporary existence. What fear should be held knowing that each cycle blossoms fully before evolving into the next?
Wherever I go, I bring with me abundant aloha- the buoy to my soul.
