The air is soft and comforting; a soft blanket of breeze flutters the hair, caresses the face. The earth is covered in peaceful silence. An occasional bird sings, perhaps a love song to its mate; inspired by the moment. The dropping sun emits a soft glow like candlelight, soothing and romantic, like golden liquid dripping from azure sky. The color of the grass is meandering… retiring summer green, paving the way for a cascade of colorful leaves. The wildflowers are shrinking, but no less radiant—fading purple flowers on fading green grass, a perfect compliment from the paintbrush of Mother Nature, a final goodbye to the season. I feel compelled to linger, to feel the fresh air delight my skin; make my lungs feel pure and refreshed. I stare at the trees, which in days will sport the decadent colors of fall before giving way to the stoic skeleton arms of winter.

We usually prefer it that way… just stick us in a comer and let us be—don’t talk to us, but make sure to talk around us. We are typically [...]

Ode to Pablo Neruda.
The words ooze sensuality on the page in a way so romantic, even the most cynical person (myself included) cannot help slowly becoming a victim of the swooning. It’s steamy tropical heat rising off the pages. Lush lyricism enchants, the hands on the book begin to sweat. It mesmerizes. It’s the highest extension of passion [...]

A Love Letter to the People of Costa Rica.
Pura Vida! Pura Vida! Puuura Veeeeda! I hear this happy phrase constantly, its joyful energy suspicious to my cynical American ears. It dances around me, like perfectly planned choreography, just waiting for me to catch on, join in the dance. Pura Vida. It flows out of the lips, curling them ever so slightly into a [...]
