i am a rock, i am an island

moments i'll remember forever: sharing onion rings with a stray dog at a tiny restaurant before walking out to kaimu to look at the smoke rolling off the mountain from the lava flow. hiking down pololu valley & swinging on the tire swing while the ocean roared behind me. driving through the rolling hills of waimea. snorkeling in the kapoho tidepools with the fish & eels & coral. & this enduring image i see clearly in my mind when i close my eyes: joe sitting on this huge rock at kolekole watching the waves rolls in. it reminded me of that old song:
"i am a rock, i am an island... & a rock feels no pain; & an island never cries..."
