Hearts of The Aware Twenty Six miles off the shores of South Korea there is a mysterious lush green island known as Catalina. Not many know a beautiful island is located there. An island that only exists in the hearts of the aware. I awoke one February morning two years ago to this day and found myself on this lush green island fearing to be a castaway. I looked all around me and saw only my footprints pressing into the sand. The reason why I was there soon enough I would understand. Suddenly there was a clearing as palm trees started to part. A lovely women stood in the clearing and her grace and beauty stole my heart. She beckoned me to come towards her and I eagerly obliged. No way I could ignore her as she looked into my admiring eyes. She told me her name was Mina as she took my trembling hand and as she started to kiss me I wanted to be her man. She lived in a spacious cavern beneath a silky mountain fall. Her bed was made of soft feathers and bamboo with silk pillows full of sweet smelling straw. We spent that evening together and it was one I hoped would never end. For I feared when I awoke in the morning that Mina would be pretend. As I awoke the next morning I found myself far away from there and worried about my Mina and hoping that she still cares. As days passed I found that my desires for Mina will always take me back there to the romantic island of Catalina to share the magic of the hearts of the aware.

I always wondered where Catalina was. I thought it would be off the coast of California. I'd expect an island off Korea's coast to be named Dogadinna instead - lol. |
