Happy Easter

Easter Greetings!  The poui is in bloom here in Trinidad and Tobago and for us it means  sporadic bursts of yellow or pink on  the hills and  blossoms strewn near wherever a poui grows.  Beautiful!

Hot, breeze-filled days encourages the mind to wander to lightness - I want to go kite-flying and indulge in laughter and fun! 

 It's spring and like other lands with the four seasons we celebrate  the symbols of the season's coming through the Orisha Ancestral offering

Holi or Phagwa as it is called in Trinidad and Tobago, and Easter , the blooming of the Easter lily and the desert rose.

This is not the time for deep thoughts, the mind says but...as we say in TnT "if you haven't studied by the time the poui stops blooming...yuh dead in de exam!"  LOL! 
So I am taking the time to wish all a Happy Easter and God's blessings to you!  Enjoy the poui!  Enjoy  this the only life we know!

After the rains

Good day!  What a beautiful day the Lord has made!  We have experienced our miracle, that of being alive and kicking today! I posted part of these comments below in response to Philo Alexis Baptiste's statement and it will be my blog of the day.  I want us to be creative and find solutions to this continual problem, which may not be so specific to Trinidad and Tobago as it may seem. _______________________ I am yet to hear government has begun work on straightening rivers, strengthening their banks , enforcing the laws that restrict building development above a certain feet and in general putting into effect mitigation practices to abate this annual flooding.  When will Cabinet sit and organize this?  All well and good to assist in the short-term but what medium to long-term measures are being designed and implemented?
