Sunset therapy

It is quiet after this evening's session.  We enjoyed ourselves a great deal tonight.  My guests really went for it which was a welcome release from the week.  I am blessed to some how still be functioning after the fires.  It is a cold feeling knowing how many of my friends have lost so much so quickly.  The chill of loss is felt all through the community that is for sure. 

After we said our goodbyes I sat for a moment to watch the last bit of light.  The sea was calm as if it couldn't be bothered to send a wave to shore.  She seemed quite content dancing with the shimmering light.  Even the winds of Kihei decided to take a break and just play gently with the palm leaves. 

This was all a welcome bit of deja vu which I sat and savored well past the sunset.

I've been here a long time.  

These little things have been a consistent comfort and reminder to me about where my roots are.  Isn't always the little things?

Even in hard times there is something about Maui with it's eclectic personality and style, it's familiar way that is encapsulated simply in the word "home".
