Imbibing the Sweet

With a rare Sunday to ourselves, the Bohemian and I take cues from the monk seals. Make our way to the warm sand, land, and move little. Let the trade winds cool us in the dappled shade of Naupaka branches.

Think little, do nothing. Rest.

Mary stops by to find our beached bodies. In her basket is lemonade in a mason jar and Dragonfruit with spoons. Seems this weekend’s farmer’s market was filled with harvest and she’s got plenty to share.

Our Dragonfruit at home (the story of their epic flower power is chronicled here) are still in process – we’ll see if they fruit.

But we get a taste on this relaxing Sunday. We breathe deeply. Imbibe the sweet. Let go and lounge.

Within A Mystery

All eyes have been to the sky on a storm watch these past few days.

Crisis averted and the current forecast has us at wind speeds of 0 mph with a chance of precipitation at 90%. All is well in this steamy kind of soup within which we sit.

As we sweat it out, might as well shift focus from the vast expanse to more earthly minutiae.

Like this small piece of something akin to moss but of the sea.  So tiny, and so green.

Ah…in the grand scheme, we are but just a grain of sand, ensnared within a mystery.
