The random fronds of green take me back to a jungle-covered cliff of Mexico's Yucatan 1973. It was wild and a nearly untouched Eden, a giant rain forest with black sand, beautiful crabs all over it's beaches, birds sounding and echoing. The paradise that was on the peninsula is gone now and paved over with hotels, resorts, concrete. I remember that place, though!
I am asking to remember joy. Re-joy; rejoice. I get overwhelmed with grief. It starts to mess with my mind. I start to think it'd be better to be someplace else. It's a lie from the Enemy, the Thief who comes only to steal, kill and destroy the rightful heir and the rightful kingdom. I know in my gut what is right, but I am faint in spirit.
