Memories (2)

I arrived and was offered a complimentary coffee, the alternative was a brandy sour or something like that. They also brought complimentary popcorn. Then I wobbled down the steps,( the cafeteria was on the roof top)the same way I had wobbled up.

The village Oroklini is seriously cute about half an hour taxi from Larnaca airport.

Mountains on one side, the sea not far and in sight. A church to the left and another a bit further to the right. I got one of the few studios in front of the pool. that’s where I wrote this, on a small “French” balcony. Just the right size to dry my bathing suit on one chair and to sit on the other chair in front of a small table. Perfect, to just look up and see the lovely village view, small pool, a few umbrellas for shade, some plants and trees with a low fence allowing a peep over to the road and village homes, small and I know cosy. One of these homes is a cafe that serves the best Moussaka it’s oh my goodness delicious, steamy hot creamy and cheesy , thanks to their generous serving 2 people can be in Heaven for a while.

Tomorrow a trip to Larnaca

Memories

Written in 2007 mostly about a Cyprus trip.

Cannot wait to travel,(then as now)

Thing is you see, lately I have been discovering how much of my life I have lived for others.

The first realization was last April when I went to visit my daughter with all “things” on her account. I was feeling light and upon reflecting I realized that for once I would be without responsibility and everything was being paid for me. To tell you the truth this was new to me.

Anyway, as we would say in the Caribbean, to cut a long story short, I was thrilled!

I went back home realizing that it is not such a bad thing to be pampered and began to look forward to a few more episodes, not necessarily from my daughter of course. Coming to think of it, having 6 kids could mean being pampered 6 times, smile.

OK time to get back to my Cyprus trip.

As I got up from my seat to disembark, walking down the aisle a bit, I wondered why one of my legs was shorter than the other. Looking down I realized I had left one of my shoe heels behind. I sighed, got it and put it in my bag. and tip toed all the way to the hotel studio apartment.

Church and Palm

Church and stately

Palm Tree

A sure sign of

God’s Presence

The people built their homes

Close, to be near to God

Now, if only the people

can be close to each other

A sure sign of

God’s Presence

Boat in Chains

Boat in chains

In garage

It keeps floating

down the steps

into the sea

What kind of rest

Can a restless

Boat have

Chained

To the wall

When

Water is All

Desire

Sea side heaven

Sea side heaven

As waves roll and frolic

Trying to see if maybe

They can reach

Shore

This time

They almost reached

The playing toes of a child

Waiting Waiting

For the wave

To come

And play with her

Next one,

She says to herself

Next one

Will reach me

If not

Maybe I might

Go in

Or out

A bit further

And play

The wave

And

I

Friendship

To sail

Through life

With a friend

Along the way

Close even though sometimes far

Comforting

Soothing

All the way

Home

Friendship

To me, friendship

Is the Most

Beautiful Gift

Anyone can give

With friendship

comes a wealth of

Respect ,Care, Thoughtfulness, Love

Great Riches, Great Joy

Pensive

How can we

Instill

In the souls of people

That extreme wealth

Can be as dangerous

As extreme poverty

They can both

Lead to extreme starvation

I Wish

I wish

I could

Swim like a fish

For a very long time

Lightly under the water

I wish

I could

Fly like a bird

Wings free and unfurled

Soaring in a clear sky

I wish

I could

be a leaf

In a forest

Big and pine scented

All wonderful things to be

But I think

I’ll just wish to be me
