Cold winter nights,
sitting by the fire.
 
Wisdom’s words echo
when hearts resonate.
 
Sharing truth, bearing souls,
taking down the façade.
 
Hearing
what’s emerging,
moment to moment,
between the lines.
 
Quill in hand,
heart in throat,
 
the bitter pill is hard to swallow.
choking on words that feel hallow.
 
Barren branches freeze,
sending chills up my spine.
 
Eyes lock sipping cider,
hearts pitter patter with sweet elixir.
 
Snow blanketed mountain tops
light my inner fire.
 
River’s melt oozing,
warmed by candlelight.
 
Electric nights in this
Winter Wonderland.
 
Counting down the minutes,
toasting in sweet embrace,
a steamy kiss, fireworks!
 
Honest conversations warm the heart.
We transform, not conform,
welcoming the new year.

The “Miamification” of Jamaica – Petchary’s Blog

For all these developments, I have more or less the same questions:

  • Will Jamaicans have any access at all to the coastline on which these properties will be built?
  • What impact will the development have on water supply for surrounding areas?
  • What impact will the development have on traffic in the surrounding neighbourhood?
  • What is the development’s carbon footprint?
  • Who will be living in these places?
  • What kind of clientele will casinos bring to Jamaica (in the case of Harmony Cove)?
  • What benefits will these basically all-inclusive developments bring to the community, apart from mostly low-paid jobs? Will there be imported labour?
  • How much natural habitat will be damaged in the building of these developments? How many trees cut down (including mangroves and mature trees)? How many endemic species of birds, plants and animals will be destroyed? What about the impact on beaches and coastal habitats?
  • When is a Protected Area not a Protected Area? In fact, what are the criteria – or is it in name only?
