A walk in nature walks the soul back home. βMary Davis
Meandering rural lifeβMendez to be exact. All is quiet. Birds chirping as early morning risers stir. One waiting atop the yardβs fence. Scrolling, watching social media platforms, my guess. Others busy collecting water from tanks to prepare breakfast. Shower, get refreshed as each forge ahead getting ready for the dayβwhatever lies ahead.
Taxis, the main source of transportation, make haste on the soon to be busy road. They look, at times toot, to alert waiting passengers.
Coffee With a View
Coffee in hand, it was my chance to review the surroundings. The skeletons of a huge Mango tree await its next fruit-bearing season. Coconut tree sears high above the skyβas if saying to the others, βdare to rise above me.β Oh the power to see above and beyond everything. Banana leaves flicker against its stem. The Ackee tree buds promises of the countryβs national dish and breakfast cravings. And Oh, the sways of the delicious avocado tree. A sure replica of island life in the land of wood and water–Jamaica to be exact.
I peer into the distance to see my grandpaβs graveβmemories of decades gone by. I envision life as he too saw it.
Cheers as you too take time out to think about rural life.
