Molokai Moment

Here's another image rescued from the Hawaii Nights archive. It's Molokai, once again. You drive a narrow road - the kind that takes you one hour to drive 10 miles - to the easternmost point of the island, as away from any village as you can in the island, which is already far and away from the rest of the world in almost every way. It's dark, but the Moon is still bright. There'll be no one waiting for you there. You arrive, get out of the car, walk towards the beach, set foot right behind this scene, sit down on the sand, take a deep but relaxing breath and, as you stare at the Milky Way rising over a setting moon behind the cliffs, go: "This would do".
