why do we live(or come)here?

[Kelena]

1. It's gorgeous. Round a corner and inhale sharply at the view.
2. It's sensuous.
3. The heart beats slower.
4. Breathing is deeper.
5. For people over 50, it seems like the entire world is going to hell in a handbasket. This place is going to hell much slower.
6. Nice fat avocados and adorable, tasty bananas...
7. Warm water.
8. In case of war, famine or insurrection, this is a good place to be.
9. Volcano adds an undercurrent of mostly benign drama to daily life and reminds us daily that we are but a blink of the eye, and that we should start living like it.
10. Got water? Puna does.
11. Green papaya salad lady.
12. Grown much of your own food very easily.
13. Turtles, dolphins and tangs, oh my!
14. The place has its own damn dance, for crissakes.
15. Attracts iconoclasts.
16. Attracts individualists and pioneer-spirits. Repels wusses.
17. Attracts artists.
18. Attracts spiritualists.
19. The place has its own soundtrack. Does Oregon? No.
20. Not very many people.
