“You have a spiritual connection to the island”, I was told by a native. “I can feel it. I see it in your eyes. It’s what keeps you coming back.” Those words pierced my soul. Perhaps it was the grand untouchable beauty in every direction that captivated me. Or the fact that Nature reappeared with an enduring vengeance for life from what was once nothing more than molten lava. The tropical vegetation is practically surreal in its perfection. Maybe it’s the harmony between the tangible benefits of sunshine and the intangible belief in allegorical legends. For all one knows, it may be the sudden and unexpected appearance of a vibrant rainbow. Or the freedom of spirit, the passion for life, the gratitude for blessings, and the nourishment of body. Kauai is tranquility; it is passion; it is exotic; it is hopeful. But most of all, Kauai is like taking a walk with Our Heavenly Father in the Garden of Eden.

What a wonderfully descriptive, emotion-provoking post this is. You captured what I felt when I first went to Hawaii in the sixties but never tried to put into words myself.

Kauai must be a very special place for you, it sounds so so beautiful that there must only be a secret passage to take or door to open to get there. Your description and images have captured my imagination and I can only dream to visit Kauai. I look forward to reading more of your stories Gail, Aunt Beulah has been the link that prompted me to pop in and visit your site. I must thank her!
Kindest Regards

It happens. Nature envelopes you and time practically stands still, or at least it slows waaaaaay down. 🌴🌴🌴
