Carried Between the Wind and the Waves

The catamaran skimmed across the azure waters off Kaanapali Beach in Maui, its sails stretched taut against the warm breeze. The rhythmic sound of waves brushing against the twin hulls mixed with the occasional creak of the rigging—a peaceful rhythm that felt like it belonged to the island itself. The air carried the unmistakable scent of salt and sunshine, wrapping around us like a warm embrace.

I sat at the bow, fully immersed in the moment, the sun soaking into my skin and the ocean breeze brushing my face. A cool drink rested in my hand, its sweetness blending perfectly with the taste of the sea in the air. Around me, my family was experiencing it too—quietly taking in the endless blue, the gentle motion of the boat, and the magic of the day. There was a shared stillness, an unspoken understanding that we were part of something extraordinary.

This wasn’t just another day. It was one of the top five happiest moments of my life. I was in a place that enveloped me completely—in every sense—and I was sharing it with the three people I love most in the world. Time seemed to slow, and in that stillness, everything felt perfect.

Looking back on this moment has given me an opportunity over the years to understand resonance and how certain experiences stand out as undeniable reflections of who we are.
