Sunday |
Nicole and four-and-a-half-year-old Lia are here for a visit. Blazing sun-shiney day with Kona wind blowing everything out to sea on Hana side so it was an extra good day for beach. Slow drive to Hamoa and Koki. Driving this road I've noticed a progression in myself and wonder if similar phases apply to other aspects of life and learning. At first it was new and scary. <- ignorance Narrow, winding, bumpy, with places where you seem about to go over the precipice into the sea. Other vehicles crowd from behind or squeak by passing head-on. Then you get used to it <- knowledge and a little arrogance seeps in along with impatience. It's fun to see how fast you can take the hairpin turns and how close you can come to naked edge of roadway when letting someone by. But Lia gets motion sick so I took it extra slow this time. There was no reason to be impatient. It's a 40-minute drive but <- wisdom why rush to a destination when you're happy where you are? |
