Hawai'i Departure


 It never gets any easier to leave these beloved islands and these beloved people. My friend Patricia is on Hospice. Memories came rushing back from our friendship in the years that I spent here in this place that I love so much and I ready myself for the flight back to America. Because to me and I think many others Hawai’i is not America, it was never America, it does not belong to America. It is and should be a nation unto itself.  My heart is breaking and I think not just because of my friend, but all of them and my happiness that I’m able to love this place so much.  I think about returning because I have so many friends I have seen and I got the distinct overwhelming loving feeling that I could come back to a life here with Victoria.

Aloha aina. Malama Pono.
