“When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everthing in me that is bewildered and confused.”

—-Rainer Maria Rilke

I have spent a good amount of time in the waters of Hawaii, particularly the Big Island.

I feel at home and at peace there.

The fact that Kamilo beach is called, “plastic beach” is heartbreaking.

It goes against all the principles of Hawaiian respect for the environment and is a sad example of humanity ruining habitats for animals.

Caring for our oceans, beaches, swimming spots needs to be a priority to our people and the government.
