I walk past this view several times a week. It is often hidden behind fog or clouds - the startling clarity of this moment caused an immediate rush home for canvas and paints. 

Having lived at the base of the Kohala Mountains for most of my 73 years, and explored them on foot and on horseback, as well as by flying over them more than once, I feel a deep connection to these rolling hills, sweet smelling pastures, and deep, mysterious rain forests. I was fortunate to grow up in a different era - nobody stopped me from walking or riding my horse in those hills or swimming in the streams. I now know my understanding was only of a transitory moment in the history of this amazing  and multi-layered place.
