Maui nostalgia
Aug. 15th, 2006 11:22 amThis must be the year for folks to go to Hawaii - first solodancer, then our dear Tinidril will be getting to go to Oahu, and now my own family has a chance to go to Maui in September.
This is a complete unknown to my kids, but I can smell the salt, the eucalyptus, the harbor, the smoke of the burning cane...( so long ago... )
What is it about nostalgia for childhood homes, I wonder? We can never truly go back to them, but there they are in our memories. I want to share it with my children, as if I want them to get to meet me as a child. Maybe we can play together that way.
