72 times over Kaloli Point so far today....
I heard the first helicopter about 5:45 AM, maybe a little earlier.
When I walked to the Hilo side of Kaloli Point after 8:00 AM and looked out over Paki Bay, I watched one headed back to the airport, as three others in quick succession flew over the Point toward the flow.
I’m listening to them now as I type. Keep counting mermaid!
I alternate between thinking of the planet as home — dear and familiar stone hearth and garden — and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners. Today I favor the latter view. The word “sojourner”... invokes a nomadic people’s sense of vagrancy, a praying people’s knowledge of estrangement, a thinking people’s intuition of sharp loss: “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” - Annie Dillard
