Oh, and here we are up on Haleakela:



Being on top of a volcano was an experience I won't soon forget. Life down here in the forest seems rather ordinary, compared to this. However, ordinary can be good. For example, I love the absence of drama. The last several months have been filled with drama, and currently I am living in an oasis of peace...and precious ordinariness.
