solo time
(thursday night) winding down from a busy day in paradise...just sitting here in our living room, that's got a panoramic view of honolulu, gentle tradewinds blowing through the windows, soothing sounds of hawaiian slack key guitar in the background. i woke up at 5:40am, started getting things together for the day, sat on my meditation cushion for a little bit, hiked my 1000 stair hike up koko crater, wandered over to hanauma bay to get a closer look of the ocean, back home, made an totally organic stir fry dish, saw a handful of clients, ended the day with a sunset surf session, and then made some squash soup for dinner. it feels like winter here, finally. it's funny, i know i'm starting to act like a local when i start wanting to bundle up at 70 degrees.
(sunday afternoon) single fin's been on the east coast with the family. he flew in for a surprise visit after doing a big presentation on the east coast. he's doing the christmas thing with the family for a long week-end. and me, i'm taking some time for myself, catching up with old friends, getting outside in nature everyday, working lots, organizing, cleaning, planning for the big festivities this week-end in maui with the cats...i'm in the midst of setting up our office/yoga/meditation/family room space downstairs, where the roomies used to live. it's strange having so much quietness here in the home now. we'll have some friends visiting for the holidays. it'll be nice to have a full house again.
'jumped in the water this morning. the trade winds are in full bloom, windy as hell, there were only 3 other people in the water, so i thought that was a perfect time to jump in. as i got out there, i ended up being the only one out deep, all by myself. it was nice to jump on my wave, ride the wave as if i were trying to ride a bull, laughing at myself all the way down. and yet there was something missing, no single fin :(
