shades of blue meet at the horizon and calm ensues. the sun adds life to my surroundings as yellow hues rain down from above spotlighting everything in its path. the palm trees remind me i'm in another world. cool, salty breezes on hot sunny days envelope me, sending my mind adrift with colorful tropical thoughts.
i've traveled thousands of miles to get here, a visitor to the birthplace of my parents, my grandparents...but all of me knows that i am home. i envision the era before my time when this land was theirs, when they lived and breathed, worked and played here. their home and the home of countless others, yet i stand here, una extranjera, and i am home. the connection transcends time and distance, it transcends history; born of the power and pride derived from my roots. i breathe in the salty air and with it the spirit of my ancestry.
