Timeless

It was late afternoon at Mauna Kea Beach, Hawaii,  as I walked along the ocean snapping pictures. I happened to catch these two basking in the surf. Sigh.

Out in the Ocean

She is not out very far out in this picture, but her diminishing silhouette seemed to dissolve and reappear. Feelings of "oneness" can occur while floating about in this benevolent sea.   

Time Spent on Beach

Aphrodite. Time spent in the ocean in Hawaii is time redeemed.

The Pacific Ocean

The Ocean in Hawaii is an entity of  three dimensions whose colors shift adjusting luminescence through degrees of turquoise. Wind dimpled. Light splattered. Clear liquid tongue on the sand, frothing mane on a wave. Utterly soft, warm, and transparent.

Kalanianiole Afternoon Idyll

On a sweaty afternoon hot from futile errands, I parked on the side of Kalanianaole (highway along the ocean named for Prince Jonah Kū-hiō Ka-lani-ana-ʻole. Lit., the royal chief without measure) and emerged from the muffled damp jungle to the open air where ever heedless of my litle world the endless waves crushed themselves pouring over black lava encrusted with pink calcifications (sea life of some sort?).

 Bright blue water stretching to the horizon. Not a soul in sight.
A place to stop and sigh. To remember. To forget.

Twilight at the beach

In the gloaming . . . the muffled hush of the oncoming waves, a white noise that at once soothes and beckons.
