Dante, the Florentine poet of the Middle Ages, knocked at the door of
a Franciscan monastery at Lunigiana. He was asked, “What do you want?”

Dante replied, “Peace.” I think that maybe he was speaking for a lot
of us — especially these days. But how do you find peace? Read More

It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed in front of the store by 8:30, the store’s opening time.

..

A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colorful curses. On the man’s second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again.

Sea, Sun and Sand — on the North Coast, Jamaica

Published: Sunday | March 8, 2009

We catch up on our nomadic islanders after breakfast. The sun is up and the glare off the white sand beach is intense, even in the morning! Colleen and Cecile are walking off the morning’s gastronomical indulgences with Mario and Brian not far behind.

..

So we got our significant others and made for the beach. We had a ball!

Killing originality

In one of her wicked poems, ‘Bans a Killin’ Miss Lou persuasively argues that Jamaican - which she calls ‘dialect’ - is not inferior to English. And she firmly puts in his place censorious Mas Charlie who, somewhat like the Broadcasting Commission these days, is trying to kill off verbal creativity in the slack local language. Here are the first two and the last two verses of Miss Lou’s poem:

S	M	T	W	T	F	S
« Feb				Apr »
1	2	3	4	5	6	7
8	9	10	11	12	13	14
15	16	17	18	19	20	21

29	30	31
