The intensely invigorating, cool, crisp morning air has me spellbound. I am borne on wings of complete tranquility and peace in that safe quiet zone. I am by Granny in Vieux Case on a weekend at about 5:30am. All around me are the imposing mountains hemming me in. I am elated and excited.
This little Nature Island Girl cherishes the times in the countryside by her grandmother. Off in the distance on another end, the bold waves of the Atlantic are clearly visible no doubt imposing their presence at Au Parque. The feeling is warm and the effect seeps slowly into her psyche to remain indelibly etched. That lush-green, safe Garden Vibes:
Varied shades and blends of green are everywhere. The tall majestic coconut palms, royal imposing mango trees, numerous guava, nutmeg, Fat Pork, Kubawi trees, ferns and endless supply of shrubs, tea bush offer a holy sanctuary of protection and reverence coupled with a rich supply of pure oxygen. Once again I am in complete awe and gratefulness. I am by the river in my home town either going to meet Mammie, spending time with my cousins on saturday for laundry time or taking a shortcut to school on a day I am late. The air, the air and that cover bear me up again to preserve my spirit and sense of belonging.
The Nature Island Girl completely relishes the river moments, solo or ensemble. All around the gently gurgling water increases that calm and relaxing effect to position the girl into that safe zone. The mood is perfect to settle and ease and would be that binding glue nature. That lush-green safe Garden Vibes:
Ah that really, really cool light pure air that purposefully sinks into my starved lungs, the slender bamboo plants, the colourful flora that brightens my senses the enormous trees everywhere completely rescue me. I am on that school trip through the National Park, Fresh Water Lake being one of the special sites. Once more I completely enveloped by safety in one of Nature’s Cathedrals in The Nature Isle, the land of my birth. My roots are being solidified, my attachment firmly sealed.
The Nature Island Girl is grounded in her heritage and forever appreciates the experiences of the interior. The perfectly cold, pure water emerging from the rocks offer a genuine satisfaction from the intense heat. The scene is ideal for a Nature lover and a patriotic soul. It cements the link to nature. That lush-green safe Garden Vibes:
The light fluttering palm trees, the towering almond tree, Mango tree, Coconut tree, the banana trees, the tea bush the stillness, the calm are all mine to savour. I am away from the stuffy, dusty town outside in the yard and I am completely enjoying the feeling. I reminisce of childhood days in Nature Island Green and feel safe here too in my Garden, my Yard.
The Nature Island Girl has found a refuge in adulthood to mimic her past and bear her up in tranquility and calm. She writes, she inspires, she sings, she offers praise, she prays. She is transported to her juvenile beginnings and it is a good thing. all that’s missing is that soft gurgling water sounds or that ocean view. Never mind that! She is ok in her garden since her memories are intact and her mood is right. She will strive and thrive right here in her little piece of nature. That lush-green safe Garden Vibes:
