This week was heavy. I’ve thought about our recent trip to Maui a lot. The shop owners, waiters, waitresses, hotel workers, tattoo artists, and people who rented us snorkel gear-all kind and friendly. Living their lives in that beautiful place, now destroyed.
Yesterday’s news showed the Banyan tree at the center of Lahina. It is scorched but still standing. Time will tell. A tiny sliver of hope amid unthinkable tragedy.

I’ve had similar thoughts! That Banyan tree is absolutely amazing and I’m so hoping its roots are still strong and it will rise from the ashes (literally).

I have found her music to be so calming. I thought of this related to the Banyan tree. I wrote a post a few years ago that referenced this song…the lyrics primarily. I am hopeful that it’s roots will have survived and it will stand strong as it repairs, heals and stands as a strong symbol for what is possible. Even in the face of such devastating destruction. Sending you hugs, dear Kelley. ❤️
