Aloha dakine!
Your last post puts a much different light on the matter compared to your first post on this thread. I took your first post as passing judgement on those who chose to live in Kapoho. My apology if I misunderstood your message. I could well ask "Who the heck would want to live in the desert?", but thousands (millions?) of people are happy in places like Phoenix, Palm Springs, Albuquerque, Taos, St. George, Mojave, Palmdale, etc. It's certainly not where I want to live, but to each his own. Your last post puts a gentler light on the matter.
I believe you when you tell the story of the woman who didn't know she lived on top of a volcano. I don't understand people like that, who aren't aware of their surroundings. My goal is to be an organic part of the area in which I live, the local weather, sun and stars, the hazards of any kind, the flora and fauna, all of it. That's being fully alive, to me. I could be fully alive in Puna.
Aloha! ;-)
