My god! It's full of stars!
Category: Music

I leave Hawaii tomorrow..
Been here on a vacation with my family and have loved it.
Woke up to the sound of the ocean most days and a macaw
named 'coco' most others.
On our final night we all sat outside on the porch and watched how the stars formed
in the sky. As my Aunt pointed out.. the stars weren't just above us... they were all around in a dome. You forget how much the buildings and the lights of the city can fool you into believing otherwise. But we are really surrounded by stars.

It was amazing to spend time with my Mum and
ask her all these questions I'd always wanted to ask
but only ever thought of when she was away. Just history
lessons really. The why, how, what of growing up - questions
only she has the answers to.
She's such a fucking amazing Woman.

It's been weird seeing Christmas start to take form in a tropical climate.
Only a few years in England and I'm already used to the cold at this time.
Seeing Santa in a Hawaiian shirt and no shoes at the mall was kind of
way too much of a culture shock!

It's kind of sad really, how much money we all just throw away on this holiday.
And before I get anyone up in arms, let me say that I'm talking about commercialization
not religion. For me, with or without a spiritual significance, Christmas is about my family.
It's quite an intimate thing because it represents the putting down of work tools and the
comig together in spite of distance, time and differences.
To me it's a stock take at the end of the year.. in an emotional sense.

It's weird you know.. my Mum left on an earlier flight than me today and I still get lump in my throat when we part. Rich and I went back to the house we all rented and as 'coco' the parrot came flying up to the property.. a massive rainbow extended from one side of the world to the other. I'm not normally one for Rainbows.. but today it just seemed like a little sign.

Gonna head to SF for a few days before coming home for Christmas.

Might write. Might not. Depends on the jet lag!
