I've been on the island of Molokai, Hawaii less than 24 hours and I see now why people love it. Why they will completely reorganize their mainland lives so that they can get back to their island paradise. Yes, I know, in this world there is no perfect paradise. Human and mechanical problems will follow us to the end of our days. But you know what I mean. Paradise in the sense that being here puts world news and problems in a larger perspective. A place where the world may indeed be going to hell in a hand basket, but look at that sunset, those endless waves, feel the soft winds of the 'trades.' It's a place where TV and the Internet are available but you don't want to access them. Even this is too much verbiage. Simply be here. Just listen, feel, experience.
