Jack Armour’s letter was a beautiful tribute to Lahaina and its community — as he is finally seeing, hearing and feeling through its magnificent banyan tree things once “masked” (“An ode to Lahaina’s landmark banyan tree,” Star-Advertiser, Aug. 21).
He wonderfully presents a sense of sacredness, gratitude and appreciation for things more important and meaningful, with that still-standing historic tree and Lahaina as symbols of strength, unity and aloha.
May we all begin to see more of those things sacred, beautiful and blessed in our lives — well worthy of the memory and legacy of that banyan and people of Lahaina.
