I stayed at the Hyatt Regency \u2013 a beautiful, lavish resort on the south shore. I had United MileagePlus discount coupons for this hotel &#8211; it\u2019s funny how accidents of circumstance can end up changing our lives! I had been back a year and a half from Paris and hadn\u2019t yet met Joe, so I was here on my own, amongst lots of shiny wedding bands and families with small children. My friend\u2019s wedding was in a garden along Hanalei Bay on the north shore and we went to a luau on the east side \u2013 giving me a taste of a lot of this lovely island.<\/p>\n<p>The next time back was two years later. Joe had just finished chemo and we were looking for a vacation spot to start his healing. He\u2019d been to Maui, but never Kauai. My first trip here introduced me to Kauai\u2019s rhythms \u2013 peaceful and soothing. We stayed in an end-unit condo with a sweet, private little garden, walking distance from the Hyatt where I had stayed. We discovered a hike along the coast, starting at Shipwreck Beach in front of the Hyatt. The web of trails head east along a bluff, with amazing views of the ocean and the south coastline of Kauai. We hiked every morning and then came back and talked, really talked. His journey through cancer treatment started six days after our first date and the next six months were a whir of emotions and the realities of cancer treatment \u2013 infusions, a hospital stay, injections at home, many restless nights. In that little garden condo we took the time to share with each other at Kauai\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n<p>Journeys through life-threatening illness shift things in us \u2013 after cancer, Joe resolved that we\u2019d come to Hawaii often. Since then, it\u2019s been at least once, many times twice a year. Except for one more trip to Maui and another to the Big Island \u2013 both in the following two years &#8211; every trip back has been to Kauai. In 2004, on a whim, we walked into Island Pacific Properties in Koloa town and met the broker, Stephanie. We left that trip having taken a big risk \u2013 we\u2019d made an offer on a house! It\u2019s always been someone else\u2019s home, we\u2019ve never furnished it so that we could stay there, but owning a house on Kauai has anchored us here even more. What seems more important to me is that through Steff, we\u2019ve met so many wonderful people. When we come here now, we see old and new friends. It\u2019s so much more than a vacation spot.<\/p>\n<p>Because we really love sunshine, we\u2019ve always stayed on the south shore. I\u2019ve been here 10 days now and I\u2019ve not ventured any further north than the airport in Lihue! Our time here is spent \u201ctrying on\u201d retirement. We\u2019ve always stayed in a place with a kitchen, so we can have meals \u201cat home\u201d if we want. We still do the same walk along the coast, but now we know to look for sea turtles in the water and often go all the way to the next beach \u2013 Mahaulepu &#8211; and go for a swim in the spot inside the reef break. On calm days it\u2019s almost like a swimming pool. Joe golfs and I paint, we read and do a whole lot of not much else. There are many treasures on this island we\u2019ve yet to experience, but somehow we\u2019ve lost the impetus to be explorers. What we come here for, more than anything else, is to just <em>be<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coast-walk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3229 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coast-walk-e1455656095681.jpg\" alt=\"coast walk\" width=\"600\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coast-walk-e1455656095681.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coast-walk-e1455656095681-300x134.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I take walks along the shore from the Hyatt headed west sometimes too \u2013 and take pictures of the tropical flowers in the lush gardens of the resorts and vacation homes.

For some reason, every year for the past five or so, the water lily ponds are going away. One year there are no more plants, the next there isn\u2019t even any water in them. I don\u2019t know if they are too much to keep up, but I&#8217;m so glad that I have been able to capture them in paint! None of the ponds I\u2019ve painted below exist anymore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3231 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings.jpg\" alt=\"lily paintings\" width=\"600\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings-300x434.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/lily-paintings-138x200.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in my post about \u201chome\u201d a few weeks ago, Kauai is one of ours. It has me wonder what it is about a place, the spirit of a place &#8211; that meets us, compelling us to come back again and again, developing a relationship with the place that is as <em>real<\/em> as any relationship. As I write this, I\u2019m in my friend Robin\u2019s studio \u2013 in her house in Kalaheo &#8211; a bit up-country from where we stay closer to the ocean. She paints <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robinmccoyfinearts.com\" target=\"_blank\">beautiful, color-filled oils<\/a> of this heavenly place. I love having a <em>real<\/em> artist-friend here. We inspire and support each other in a way that, somehow, I\u2019ve not found with anyone at home. She\u2019s working on a painting of a succulent, finding her way through the shapes and colors and I\u2019m taking a break from struggling through the lily pond painting I\u2019m working on to write to you. Coming through the open French door are the sounds of the breeze in the palm fronds and the calls of the tropical birds \u2013 including the roosters &#8211; and even the bleat of a goat! This is absolutely <em>paradise<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve talked about living here full time \u2013 even as an adventure for a year. So far, the pull has not been strong enough to up-root us from Northern California, where we were both born and our lives are still centered. Nonetheless, there is something here for us, that lives in us when we are back \u201chome.\u201d When we went to see the George Clooney movie, \u201cThe Descendents\u201d at the Fairfax Theater, we felt it. There is a scene where his character flies with his daughters from Oahu to Kauai to see the family property. As they are walking in from the jet-way into the Lihue airport, I felt in me and sensed in Joe a combination of recognition, knowing and longing. We felt Kauai in our bones for a moment. This place fills a need in us that isn\u2019t filled anywhere else &#8211; even in the very-special place we live.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night we went to the salt ponds to watch the sunset. Joe was curious what the people were doing a short distance away. Following his intuition, we went to check it out. His respectful, reverent way of asking about it inspired Emma, a native Hawaiian to take the time tell us <em>all<\/em> about it. She\u2019s the third generation that has been tending the salt beds \u2013 the only ones on Kauai. We saw how they carefully re-make the beds with smooth black mud every year and then carefully bucket the salt water from the wells into them. The sun evaporates the water and in a number of weeks salt crystals form, which are then gathered up and dried. Her son and niece and grandkids were there, participating in the traditional practice, carrying on the knowledge. When I asked if they sell the salt, with pride and honor, she told me they only give it away. Then she gave us some of her pink salt from last year \u2013 white salt that had been mixed with Hawaiian red dirt. She told us this salt is <em>medicine<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The clouds were spitting rain as we left, feeling like we had just been blessed. It\u2019s still not coming to me how to articulate what it is about the spirit of this part of this island that we connect to, but it <em>so<\/em> does. We are renewed and inspired here. The air is soft on my skin. Thank you, Kauai.<\/p>\n<p>Aloha,<\/p>\n<p>Cara<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this post: I first came to Kauai about this time of year in 1997 for a friend\u2019s wedding.
