Our Sisters of Spirit retreat group visited the Botanical Gardens outside of Hilo for several hours one day. I was there 10 years ago and it seemed much bigger to me then. I think that happens when we first visit a new place, and then it becomes familiar.  Still breathtaking with little nooks and crannies to explore.  “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
