Day 28 Longing for Home

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs

and returns home to find it."

~ George Augustus Moore ~

"There is no denying the heart what it longs for – especially when it longs for home."
~Nicole Sobon~

Red and orange stubbornly cling to the sky. 

The gray of night slowly creeps in. 

Blue and red lights blink on the runway and the jet turbines of our airplane roar as it takes off. 

Shadows deepen as only the whitecaps of the ocean remain visible as we rise up in the air. 

I close my eyes and wait for sleep to take me. 

When I open my eyes, I shall look longingly to see the lights of Hilo

and breathe the air of home.
