I love cold weather on the condition that the heating system isn’t on too high that I sweat everywhere I go. I also love the white winter scenery when snow covers the ground in a white coat of innocence. However, I also hate how dirty a house becomes from melting snow, salt, slush, and mud.

Mango, pineapple, and papaya as each one reminds me of my childhood in Ghana. Plus, their sweet flavor and juicy flavors always leave a wondrous taste in your mouth. Apples are my go to fruit, I love the crunch, sweet and tangy combination that makes you salivate for more. Finally, oranges are a reminder of my grandmother’s, mother, and mother-in-law who all enjoyed eating them.
So which is my favorite? It’s a mood thing. I believe my mood dictates my preferences, very much like when I’m craving chocolate!

To me, freedom equals having a home and family that endure under the obstacles of life. When I say home, I mean the people who occupy the house, family unit that could be related by blood or not. It’s one of those rights that give emotional and physical security in order to be ambitious in life and strive to improve your material or social status. Yes, that is a very colonial perspective, but then I witnessed 2 civil wars as a child, lived in 3 continents, all before I turned 12. Perhaps colonialism also taught me to appreciate my home because I had to rebuild it so many times in my 5 decades plus of life.
Home?
Where is home? What is home?
These questions circle Ceaselessly and kindle
The quest for answers for: Where and what is home for?
I’ve immigrated to three Continents searching for thee.
Why do you hide from me? Why do you flee and oblige me
To search you out in lands gone mad? How is that fair on a child who feels bad?
From the tropics to the Mediterranean, To North America, in search of what you mean.
The child in me Misses the simplicity of love,
Laughter that is innate, But shaken with wars and fate,
That take away all joy and faith In a moment of stolen breath.
Embrace the joy you’re given, For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.
