From Cuba With Love

March 2018, what a year full of surprises. Habana, what a beautiful place. A magical gem is full of beauty, from the people to the food, nature, the coffee. I love this picture. I have never seen before sunset so beautiful and peaceful. The sun is resting on the arms of the ocean dress of beautiful bright colors. The ocean is a large bed, made of waves waiting for the sun to lay and rest until the next day. I was there sitting on the Malecon Cubano, enjoying the view with my good friends. What a peaceful moment a perfect combination of happiness and relaxation. I was watching the water dance one side to another. It was like they were celebrating and waiting for the sun to come and rest—such a beautiful moment no camera can catch the perfection of this natural scenery. We are blessed mother earth gives us this view that makes us dream.

Think in the immensity of the ocean, so far and yet so close to us. So beautiful and deadly at the same time. Habana, the sun, the sea, the magic of earth gift. Habana, no wonder so many people talk about you, a beautiful gem that everyone wants to have. A few have the chance to enjoy your beauty—healthy island survival of many storms, many wars, and still intact. Fighting to bright up your people’s life allows them to enjoy every day more and more of this beautiful sunset. The sun, smiling at you, knowing that it will be back again with a beautiful dress for you to see.

The audience is waiting to see how the sunset starts, the cameras out, the people talking to friends. The stories around, they dance on the Malecon, while you are going to rest. The music, the dance, and the laughter make this beautiful gift a perfect company to end a day full of surprises—Malecon eight kilometers of the party beyond imagination. The sunset is the VIP of this party, and everyone wants to be around and talk and laugh. We all want to have the chance to see it. We want to know more about it, what time starts, how long it will last? Are we going to be able to see it tomorrow? We all want a piece of this perfect picture that makes us feel happy, peaceful, and immensely lucky for being there. A magical moment that I never forget, an image that it is print in my mind and my heart. Every time I see a sunset, it brings me back to Habana. The food, coffee, the music, and the happiness of a population will bring you everything they have. They open the doors to strangers that visit the island with the hope of enjoying your beauty, your people, your love. My sunset, like I, always call it, my vivid image of perfection. Where my soul likes to rest when times are hard, and I cannot find peace. My ocean, I cannot stop thinking about your immensity; it makes seem all the problems in the world so small. I think of you as a reminder of the beauty of this world. As for how blessed I am to share my life with you, everywhere I go, it is a reminder of harmony, peace, and love—the love for nature, the desire for people, the love that we have around. We do not know what we have until we cannot see it anymore. My sunset I will see you again, once more before I die, wait for me. I have so much to tell you, and I will see you soon—my sunset.
