a farewell to friends

not much to say here, because there's too much to say. 

i will dearly miss shiz and val.  my friends, sisters and mothers over the past weeks here.  val is off to ask answers from the goddess of the volcano, one island over.  shiz is off to a hostel for a few days before heading back to japan.  

i ate my first dinner alone last night but still took pictures and bowed per our established evening ritual.  

i wish you both the best of all things.  thank you for helping me feel at home here.  its wonderful to know that strong affinities can be formed in a few short weeks. 

and now i await the arrival of tomorrow's wwoofers with an open heart and a sense of serenity in this our pristine cottage and the kind impetus of communal life here.  now the ambassador for our form of kindness, i turn to offer hearty thanks to the co-founders of my maui peace. 

thank you.
