Aloha Sayulita

Los colores de Sayulita--

the oranges of oranges, purples of plums, 

yellows of piñas, 

the azul of the sea--

the vibrance pulls you in, 

as you float through streets 

that both buzz and 

bliss. 

The warm smile of a sun-kissed stranger

greets the warm waves

of sun-kissed waters.

They carry you, as if walking 

in a dream.

Even the dogs are free, 

happy

and bellies full.

Because in Sayulita, 

the love--el amor--

doesn't set with the sun.

take me back...

 

waikiki. wailoa. puueo. mauna kea. kona. HILO.

--

the colors, the breeze, the swaying of the trees. the peace, the ease, and the warmth of the water. i know home will always be there. and i know i will always go back.

hunting eggs in joshua tree...

because sometimes there are just no words. hope you bunnies had a happy easter.

from where the sun will rise..

"it is wise to realize from where the sun will rise,
for to fret upon it once it sets leaves one with just regret." 
-lw

what painful pleasure to be torn between two suns--one that rises through the mist of hilo, and one that sets within the waters of santa barbara. the single solar center of the universe appears to have two faces in two worlds. yet, it is a sublime existence beneath each beautiful blanket of beams. rooted in the earth of hawai'i with branches blossoming in the california breeze, i often wonder which sunlit path to travel. but both roads, i find, are ultimately lit by the same sun.

hilo, where the sun rises,
where i too rose.
this, i never forget.
when the sun sets,
whether deep and dark
as if never to be seen again
or fiery and full of hope,
where ever i am
there is hilo.
there is sun through rain.
where ever i am
i know,
there is not two,
but one.
and i rose in hilo.

can't stop, won't stop

persuade. pursue. persist. push through :: sunrise to sunset. no stopping anytime

i will follow the sun

i will follow the sun.
take me under,
blind me.
without cover,
you will find me.
burnt,
blistered,
baked,
in a blanket of heat.
my only relief will be
the sea.
and still
i find you there.
so i dive deep,
to follow the sun.
