KC Creations Photography, July 2020
bright and soft, we begin our lives
held tightly, nurtured, protected
we strain against that which holds us
seeking freedom, growth
but do we understand
that by our declaration of independence,
we are forever changed

I’m trying to find words again. I suspect it will take a bit of time.
Tiki Bar for lunch on our first day? Yes, please!

REAL Shaved Ice: Mango, Coffee, and Coconut
No one person can own a beach in Hawai’i, nor can a hotel or a corporation buy up the beaches. There are a plethora of parks — some owned by the city of Honolulu, some owned by the State of Hawaii — and of course many hotels perched alongside the beaches, but the beaches are for the enjoyment of everyone.
I did not traipse down this steep path, but SuperDad and our hostess took the trail between million-dollar homes to check out the “spitting cave” and a memorial marker for those who had lost their lives jumping from the rocks (it’s not a good place for cliff diving). Beach access is part of keeping the beaches open to all.
Truly Paradise. *sigh*
I doubted. Silly me.
