12.14.2012 I arrive in paradise. The grass outside is flat, brown, and looks burned. The mountains behind me are faded red.

Turns out that Oahu is surrounded by water but in the middle of a drought. The wet season is two months overdue.

My detached, soft edged, jet lagged mind adapts to live in this new place. I conserve fresh water.

In the afternoon we go to the beach and have an absolutely spectacular swim.
