It's so hard to say goodbye

There is something magical about the Garden Isle. Well, many things really. A lot of good has come from the last 6 weeks, namely restored health and a relaxed state of mind. I understand now why people move to the Happy State; where pressures ease, life slows, and appreciation for that which isn't man made, is found.

I will never forget what the air smells like here. It is rich with life; like a farm, without the funk of animal shit. I wish could bottle this air up and take it home with me, taking huffs here and there whenever I'm feeling toxic.

When I first arrived, I had a hard time holding still on the beach for more than 2 hours. Now 6 hour days in the sun and sea fly by. This environment is intoxicating. I'm addicted. I get sad when I think of Sunday. Though I know what lies ahead will be another exciting segment, it's so hard to say goodbye.

When I left San Diego, I had a hard time saying bye to friends. Here, I'm bidding farewell to the beach, the mountains, the jungle, and a simple life.

Have I found inner peace? The answers to questions I came here to resolve? I am more peaceful than I can recall being in some time. Any more and I'd fall asleep. As for questions, the most important ones have been answered. Maybe I'll share sometime.

Aloha.
