island reboot
Another visit to our second home on Kauai is now behind us. Yes, it seems like we were just there, when this baby blog began. And yet a great deal of time had passed, making this a very different trip than the last one. Of course, everything is always different than it was before, every day and every year is different, because we are different; before and after cancer are significantly different. In some ways this trip was a bookend -- as distinct as the logistics and even the dispositions were, the soul of Kauai and its dialogue with my own remain the same. Actually, I'm going to call it a book mark instead. While I accept that I can never really live there, I am surer than ever that I will always return and be anchored there, so this is no end. We were on the island just ten days this time, and we brought my mother. Phil and I had shared lots of alone time in the year before this trip, compared to many prior years, so the company would be okay. Mom had not been to Kauai...
