I am at a place with so many contrasts. Somewhere
so breathtakingly beautiful but at the same time so cruel and unfair. Where you feel overwhelmed and in awe of the energy
of the snow capped mountains and elevated by the magical kiss of the
hummingbird. Yet in a heartbeat you can
be suffocated by the smog of injustice. The
cold wind bites your cheeks and envelops your soul. Time can stand still but simultaneously fly by
with the blink of an eye. Your mind struggles
to make sense of what it already knows. This
is my reality. Confused by the
indifference to such difference. I wait
for the bloom of the Atacama Desert . Patiently.
And I wait. But nothing. Oh how I desire for that arid space to be full
of life and delicate flowers. With vivid
colour and strong perfumed scent. May
the hummingbirds soon delight in its glory.
It just has to be. It just has to
be.
So beautiful, Kate! You are an amazing writer. I remember that place and can understand those sentiments. I wish you calm and happiness in your new home.
