An Easy Find

Beauty is easy to spot in Hawaii. Beauty is sensed in this landscape- through the taste of a papaya and salt on my lips, the feel of a fresh banana peel, picked right off the tree, the smell of plumeria from a bloom I picked up off the hot street, and the sun setting like a pink curtain over the ocean. Sometimes it is hard to spot beauty. Like a teacher once said, "Jenny, when you see a pile of shit, you are always looking for the pony." I saw the pony everywhere in Hawaii.

*The man in the photo is Robert, who we couch surfed with. And Andrew is standing in front of his beautiful garden, that we ate a fresh salad from.
