A Moment in Time

Early mornings on Maui spent paddleboarding out across the glassy open waters have become like a homecoming for my soul. The gentle golden light glistening across the sea as the sun just begins to peak over the top of Haleakala and illuminate the skies with the most glorious and vibrant pastel colors, the sweet sound of the song birds waking up in the tree tops off in the distance, and the expansiveness and peace that comes from gently floating out in the middle of the ocean.
