During this time of global pandemic where COVID-19 has caused us to literally go inward. I imagine I have at least one person who is doing some inner reflection and having great memories of sweet, sweet Jamaica. Like myself, you are grateful for all the lessons and fun over the years. During self-reflection, I wrote her this letter.
Dear Jamaica,
I truly miss you; I
reminisce on the days I grew up in the hills of St. Ann. I would wake up before
the sun rises, and watch its entrance over the majestic mountains, listen to
the birds sing, the butterflies flutter by, the smell of the fresh morning dew
and the harmony of nature.
I love how relaxed
and at peace I feel when I spend time with you. You truly know how to calm my
spirit and set my mind at ease. Jamaica, when I spend time with you all I see
is abundance. You are creative, vibrant, joyful and have a divine spirit. These
are the same sentiments I seek within me and share with the world. Thank you
for teaching me, and showing me, I already have that which I seek.
Jamaica, I love you
so much, being away I am able to see your true strength. You are resilient,
creative, confident, bold and courageous. You stand tall and own your beauty,
you know you were meant to be here, to share your love with others and also
tell them of their beauty and courage.
I know you have had
some challenges, we all do. I am always captivated by your ability to rise
above the challenges, to keep going and reaching toward your goal. When I am
apprehensive, I am also reminded of my exceptional ability within me to rise
above and grow through to new opportunities.
Jamaica, I love
you! I am overjoyed to say I really know what it means to say No weh no betta
dan yaad! No problem man! Nuff respect!
