The sun shines brilliantly over the island and brings out the colors of the volcanic rock, mixed with what geologists have discovered; a distinctive variety of quartz diorite only found on Aruba.
And just like that, this post is over! I want to thank you for taking the time to read. Today was a perfect day for a perfect day! I've said this before, but, when it is full and unavoidably true, it requires to be said again and again There is so much to see, so much to do and truly remarkable people to do it with. Life is good. Embrace it!
Stop in and see Aruba! Tell them Denise sent you! 💖
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
