Love Island
============
.
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings
lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others,
including love.
.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve
the island paradise until the last possible moment.
.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was
time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked,
“Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?”
Richness answered, ” I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and
gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”
.
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a
beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.”
“I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will
damage my beautiful boat.”
.
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please
let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I
just need to be alone now.”
.
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, ” Happiness, please
take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he
didn’t hear Love calling to him.
.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love,
I will take you with me.” It was an elder.
.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the

.
The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission has earmarked the month of September to celebrate the life and work of Hon Dr Louise Bennett-Coverley OJ, OM.
.
The amazing Miss Lou was born on September 7, 1919. She was a Jamaican poet and activist for the Jamaican language and is described as Jamaica’s leading comedian. Miss Lou has been lauded as the only poet who has really hit the truth about her society through its own language. She has managed to capture Jamaican thoughts, feelings and lifestyle through her poems in the vernacular. This has been done through masterful taste in use of the dialect which is acceptable to and appreciated by all in Jamaica and the Diaspora.
.
.
In September, Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) staged a series of activities across the island. St. James hosted ‘MoBay Ring Ding’ as part of the celebrations.

‘MoBay Ring Ding’ is a mini concert with a mixture of poems and storytelling. This year the National Exhibition
