the beach at the end of the Road to the Sea
Many of the misconceptions that I had about Hawai`i before moving here concerned the beaches. One of these misconceptions, or maybe its just a lack of perspective, is that I never considered that we would ever be on a beach when no one else was there.The beach that is closest to the farm is that a the end of the Road to the Sea; an unpaved, rocky path cut through a 100 year old lava flow almost directly downhill from us (we can see it from our window even though its alomst 12 miles away.) At the end of the road there is a Olympic sized tide pool to one side and a black and green sand beach to the other. Each time that we have been there, we have had the place to ourselves; it is an amazing experience.
Being at the intersection of the land, the air, and the ocean, with no distracting energies, only your own, allow you to really meditate upon your self in relation to the planet.
