Inhaling the ocean breeze of Lima, on a hot summer day, I stand atop a mountain to view the expanse of green. It seems infinite, as far as the eye can see.
I inhale deeply, an Infusion of undiluted joy. I feel alive, and grateful for this day.
The ocean breeze, carries with it memories of fishermen, who make their living at sea. Sometimes they’ve risked their lives in this ruthless sea. The sea, beautiful to behold and feel and taste, and to wade in. Yet, as beautiful and generous as she is, she is capricious and temperamental –and deadly.
It also whispers memories of my childhood, so careless and free. There is a different tempo here, a different beat. A smile is always ready, and a kiss. Life is savored delicately, sipped leisurely.
I have not eaten in three days. Today I feel famished, hungry for good food - hungry for life! I must choose carefully what I consume. I want to sink into the pleasure of a flavor forgotten for too long.
It’s life’s little unexpected pleasures, which weave a tapestry of fond memories.
