On a recent visit to Hawaii, I got to reconnect with the infamous Uncle Whit, a main character in my book, Like the Sun at Midday. On a rainy afternoon at the cozy off-grid community property Whit built, I asked him to tell me the Bobo story—a fan favorite of readers of my book.
My favorite takeaway from this story is the connection to nature. As I say in Like the Sun at Midday:
“Bobo showed him that humans are not separate from the Earth or the other creatures that live on it. Early on, Whit understood that humankind’s place in this world is not at the top of the evolutionary pyramid as a dominating ruler. Rather, we are just one, beautiful branch of the expansive tree of life.”
