Starting Over. Top Story - July 2025. Content Warning.
I didn’t see it coming… being fired from the very job that led me to move back to Lahaina after years of living on the North shore and Upcountry Maui… the shock and surprise of again being thrust into the unknown without a plan or a direction.

The Octopus and Tumbleweed
I feel his gaze before I see him. A deep pull almost turns me inside out and straight into the space between my body and the air around me. This strangeness of feeling makes me look into the crowd for the source. I spot him like a shooting star’s glow across a night sky. His eyes are down, where he is maybe writing or reading, I can’t tell. Then he looks up at me, his eyes studying me intensely as I move through the air, where I am suspended in the space that I can so clearly feel all around me now. It is all so distracting I lose my concentration and slip mid-air a few feet before I regain my grip. The crowd gasps. My head hangs to where I am now looking directly at him, his golden-green eyes wide, holding me steady in the air. Who is he?
