One of my Journeys...

One of my Journeys...

Finding a perfect place where I can relax and reminisce the past was one of my jorneys.  I used to drive around Maui just to find a place where i can get the cahnce to know myself better.  And luckily I ended to the place that I called myself my second home. 

Well it's kind of true that sometimes we appreciate more of the little things than the big things.  I found out myself that the saying is true from my experience. One day, I was actually driving around going to nowhere and I ended up taking the road to go Lahaina.  Not to be ironic but gosh I just hate the t****sts who keep stopping just to see the ocean and if there are whales.  Well I got a little bit of karma because suddenly my car decided to break down and expected me to join the tourists to see what's out there.  I pulled over my car and went to the other side of the road and luckily the big trees shaded my car and me.  I couldn't do anything but to wait for my uncle to fix my car because I was too scared to drive it when my gauges were blinking.

While waiting in the car, I was actually looking the beach and it was really a perfet timing for me to see the best sunset in Maui for the first time.  The combination of water and the sun especially with its color showed more meanings into it.  It was just the perfect scene I've ever seen especially when the sun was slowly going down hiding behind the water.  The bright yellow or orange color of the sund combined with the blue color of the ocean reflected utterly beautiful.  For that time I experienced peace in my mind just by looking the sunset. 

Listening to my i-pod playing my favorite song, looking at the waves that splashed across the shore made me realize how beautiful the ocean in Maui is if people will know how to appreciate it.  Well, to appreciate it more, I took off my earphones and I just decided to listen to the sounds of the waves.  I guess the sound of it was a little bit wild the first time I heard it but when I got used to it, I could feel myself floating in the cold water especially when I closed my eyes.  It was already getting dark and stars started to light up the night.  It was pretty cool watching the very first star that showed up and suddenly more stars came out to brighten up the dark night.  I was already in a long way of dreaming when my uncle came and just ruined my moment of silence.  But when I woke up, it felt like it was just a dream or worst, I don't even know how did I fell asleep.  A little bit shocking from my uncle seeing me with closed eyes, a smile on my face, and maybe drooling. I was kind of embarrassed when he asked me what he just saw, but I just told him that it was my moment and it was the very best moment that I could ever imagine getting stranded by myself on the road.  I'm a poetry maker when I'm inspire to make one and if something must have change my way of seeing things.  I couldn't even believe myself when I actually made one poem while watching the sunset while listening to my i-pod.

Things do happen on purpose and I was well-chosen to experience what I experienced when my car broke down.  The beaches, waves and the sunset was one of the highlights in my jorney that I will always remembered and appreciated.  Well even a small matter, it will make a big impact in people's lives, but we'll just have to learn how to appreciate and find it within ourselves.

I just wanted to share this journey of mine... Hope you had fun reading it and MAYBE I could make an impact on you...

God bless You
