Imagine being from that beautiful place, Antigua, my husband's birth land, my children's birthright, my parents' late-in-life home. The photo is by Jervez Lee.
Awash in nostalgia as vivid as the colors of that sunset, I ran across this quote from Katherine Anne Porter: "The past is never where you think you left it."
Even so, my memories do not lie. The things I remember really did happen, even if they never will again.
Paradise!

ReplyDeleteAnd..."The past is never dead. It is not even past."
ReplyDeleteWilliam Faulkner.

Beautiful photo and great quote.
ReplyDeleteSublime!
ReplyDeleteEven if our memories lie they only serve to enhance what was an already glorious experience.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's lovely. I wonder if I could ever go there...
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have been to Antigua and it is most beautiful. Never say, "never" and your dreams will come true.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were there for a second. I wish you were there.
ReplyDeleteThat's just amazing.
