Whew Good to be back
I have had a hiatus for a week or so and am eager to get back to writing. The first thing I want to say is that I am heading back to Jamaica after 2 years and am eager to see my family, and soak in the life. Jamaica has always had a mystical appeal as that is the place where life seemed best.
I was young when we left and had not had the struggles a young adult teen has so it seemed very powerful and wonderful place to be. When I go back though as much as I am enamored I see the major class struggles, the children in shanty towns with half ripped t shirts. Then i see the people with new cars and SUV's and cell phones and everything that is the trappings of US admiring society. It is still not clear what I think but I will definitely enjoy
More to come
