Why do all good things come to an end? I am spending my last sunday evening in Kona, where i have been
since the beginning of the year...something i find phenomenal is our ability as human beings to adapt to
new enviroments - I clearly remember and smell the experience of seeing the Island for the first time when
i arrived on the 29th Dec 2007. Everything was so new, fresh, stimulating. I had a sensory overload of
taste, smell, touch, sight and preception. I noticed every detail, including the taste of water.
Now as i pack my life of six weeks into a suitcase, it's almost hard to not feel like i am walking away from a
familiar world and comfort zone. How did i end up so relaxed and in tune with everything here? all the
beautiful people that i formed friendship with...
Well, let's leave that to the study of human behaviour.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Hawaii, i can honestly say that this has been one of the most
significant spiritual milestones of my faith journey, not because it is a paradise location.
I have grown so much spiritually, with many divine encounters and alterations to my life for good. I came to
the Island with one reason and unclear expectation, but i am leaving with another reason and razor-sharp
sense of purpose in my life.
The spirit of Aloha played a great role in my spiritual transformation, as i noticed, the peace and love that
fills the atmosphere is very unique. There are so many beautiful places on earth, but very few with Aloha
filtering through all transactions and interactions.
I am sad on the one hand, but very excited about leaving. I have a string of events waiting for me and
some very new and exciting challenges that i am looking forward to bending backwards to get results.
The very bleak part of my travel though is the fact that i will be flying for 18 hours nonstop from Honolulu to
London, and with another mean lay-over time before flying another 11+ hours to Cape Town.
Think of me for the next three days in the air.
