What is Jamaican?

Many times I ask wonder what is Jamaican? Looking at this picture this is what I get, strong, fun, full or pride, unique, resilient. Reflections of what we are and what we have become, what kind of ancestors will we me to our successors? Will they write about us and if they do what will it be?

Respect to the elders, so much taught, so much learnt. This shot was taken at the end of a church service in the country. Went to my bredthren's daughter's christening. Brought back memories of my younger days went to church every Sunday always guided by my elders much respect.

In my explorations I found inhabitants of this small village. They look modern but housing still is permeative. Hmm I wonder if is capture lands - may need to report this to Minister of Water and Housing, Dr. Horace Chang. I think some eviction notice in the making.. hmmm..

The Elder

Taking time out to appreciate the elders. Respecting life and what it has to offer, stop, listen, learn. Life is the greatest lesson learnt from just living. Experience is the diploma you walk way with. Knowledge is simply powerful.

Discovery

Here I come finding civilization was not too bad after all. I hope they have internet, I think I see a mobile tower.. I will give you the full details when I get back. Wish me luck.

Little Angel

While on the web doing my usual stuff I came across this poem

It's a Dad Kind of Thing

It's a dad kind of thing to protect you

And see that the world treats you right,

To offer his willing assistance

Any hour of the day or the night.

It's a dad kind of thing to stand by you

If one of your bubbles should burst,

To make sure you know you're important

And know that with him you come first.

To give you his all but still wonder

If there's something more he could do -

It's a dad kind of thing to keep showing

That he'll always be there for you.

Just Me

My journey to "daddyship" has had some great moments. I now speak with experience this lesson can only be learnt by living it. She brings me so much joy, on my down days she speaks and I am enlighten and fulfilled. Certainly one of the greatest inspirations in my life. Never a dull moment, thanks be to God for blessing me.

The Journey

Off to river head. Took us about 45 mins to get there have not been on a nature walk for a while. It felt good at times I could feel the fresh breeze from the river massaging my face. This ran alongside the trail up to our desitnation.

There was one rest spot when I got there I was so geared up I did not want to stop.

Finally we go to the head of the river, I thought to myself Nature is a wonderful creation. It was fascinating, water cold as hell but experience breathtaking.

Here is another personality I came across while in the country. He was not in the mood to talk. So I just took a snap shot then let him go about his business.

This is a pictures I took while in the country. I went to this really cool place in St Ann. Walking through the path I came across this shot I just had to capture it.
