Puna is nirvana ;D
Nirvana is an ancient Sanskrit term used within Indian religions to describe the profound peace of mind that is acquired with liberation. In sramanic thought, it is the state of being free from suffering. In Hindu philosophy, it is union with the Supreme being. The word literally means "blown out" (as in a candle) and refers, in the Buddhist context, to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion have been finally extinguished.
This nirvana description from Wikipedia is on the target of how we felt while in Puna! Yes I know we were on vacation, had stars in our eyes and all that other non positive yada, yada... ;D BUT - if the shoe fits wear it! In this case being PUNA, I want to wrap myself in you and soak up liberation!
