[/caption]Carol Forsloff - If you have ever played a part of Hawaii's journey, you will remember it. For recession's pains might bring its hurt to paradise, but Hawaii calls and you must always go, as anyone would with dreams and thoughts of home.
"Welcome home," an old friend said. "And home it will always be, if not in fact in memories that never fade no matter the passing of time.
That time was brought back fresh and new in the faces of those old friends. Some of these are the living and breathing ones, that one remembers through a look, a touch, the sounds of voices that like magic still remain in the place I lived for nearly 30 years. Others are the sights and sounds only Hawaii brings.
The beauty of Hawaii, its land and all its folks resides in the belief that all things are connected in their making, with God the centerpiece.
In the coming weeks you too can take that journey, here and wherever this author writes, until you feel in some ways you too have played your part on that journey to paradise.
The picture here is that piece of it, with so much more to tell. The end of a day's journey, on a week's return has come. Hawaii is a respite for a moment much too brief or comes to those who only want to dream.
