Beautiful Caribbean











Lost in fits of nostalgia tonight - between a reality turned dream, a collision of senses, of touching heaven, while being part of the landscape, intertwined with it in love, raucous night sounds of tropical paradises, barking of hungry dogs who also have a full night of experiences, frogs and lizards to chase, biting insects and the smells of ganja in the air, and outdoor cooking and curries, the sounds of soft rain daily and nightly, waking at four a.m. and walking naked through the bedroom courtyard staring at the moon and stars, monkeys eyes silently wondering about this crazy stranger - I don't want to wake up, but I must! I don't know where home is. Is it where I put my feet? Oh, the heart takes much longer to settle to "home" and sometimes it settles immediately, were I an eagle, a whale, I would turn southward.

On a related note, did you come across a copy of The Spice Necklace?

No, I have not. I can order it from Amazon though. In fact, I think I will do it right now! Sounds like a lovely book to own with travels interwoven with recipes, pictures and stories of the people - etc....I think, if I remember right.
