Arriving at the Big Island of Hawaii at 650 AM was far from tiring. I could immediately smell the salt in the air and I still had remnants of sand in my hair from getting whipped around in the ocean near Pipeline. An explorer is not someone who enjoys escaping daily life, but someone who enjoys new culture, new people, and a god damn adventure.
"It is better to have your head in the clouds and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below ."
- Henry David Thoreau
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise which we will ever know, the only paradise we will ever need."
- Edward Abbey
The end of a day never seems to be an actual finite thing in Hawaii. Each moment here has brought new feelings of wonderment, new thoughts about the world and most importantly, insights about my own personal self.
Live in each and every moment.
