Seeing the point where hot lava from the volcano meets the ocean was the highlight of the whole trip – seeing new earth being formed in front of our eyes. It was a potent moment to witness all four elements present in one place like this – fire and water creating earth, and letting off steam (air)

The potency was in noticing that at the point where the two contrasting energies of fire and water meet in the ocean, an alchemy happens and there is magic. Something new is formed. New land. New territory. New terra firma. It changes the shape of the existing island and creates more land.
No matter what you experience on your travels, there is no doubt that when you travel, you come back changed. Even paradise has its challenges – and its gifts.
