I don’t pretend to have all the answers.
But the questions are certainly worth thinking about…

In a vague allusion, the west light, the sketched hills foresees man on his three paths:
to be born, to remain, to disintegrate…
Oh no! "The Ovals"! screamed the "black speckled hens".
What happened to "THE OVALS"?
They are cracked and empty!!!
The "smooth eggs" and the "hairy coconut", all of them!
That "big oval" had something to do with this… they all got just too close…
What do we do now?

The Caribbean Applecactus has sweetly scented and beautiful night-blooming flowers.
When planted en masse its hundreds of flowers present a rare sight all through the night.
Also it's fruit is a great attraction as food for birds, many of whom are ravenously fond of the seeds!

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.

A wise old owl sat in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
