Sometimes the most spectacular events in nature occur where least expected. I remember making my way to the top of Haleakula Crater in Maui and unexpectedly came across the Silver Sword plant which grows only in remote locations such as at the top of dormant volcanoes. In general, being at the top of the crater was like standing on the moon, or at least what I imagine that experience to be. There in the midst of the desolate but still breathtaking expanse grew isolated examples of the Silver Sword plant which is quite rare and endangered. I think life is like this too. Even when everything around us appears desolate, there is something worth admiring and enjoying if we take the time and effort to look for it.
