Island Adventures: Disconnecting in the Caribbean and South Pacific

An island can be a place to be alone and to come to know your self more deeply. An island can offer intimate encounters with natural wonders. A visitor to an island may discover a culture and people so different from the familiar that the traveler feels like a stranger in a strange land. Islands beckon us to slow down and experience life with more intentional awareness; to "be here now". The stories in this book are about temporarily disconnecting from ordinary life to experience islands, strange creatures, and different cultures. There are encounters with whales, strange two-legged creatures, a mystical experience of super-human strength, and reflecting on whether that was or wasn't the grace of God. The stories are not so much a travelogue as an island-hopping adventure and spiritual journey. The stories in this little book are intended to take the reader out of the busyness of daily life to experience life at a slower pace, yet more consciously.
