I close my eyes and try to visualize a place, but where? There a so many possibilities. I can imagine my work place and see and feel the commotion of living in a fire station, or I could imagine my home in Mayaguez. Where should I go? I think and my mind seems to wander, I hear my kids and I try to refocus. Wait, suddenly my mind goes back the house I grew up, closing my eyes I am there, all my senses seem to have come alive. Leaving my eyes closed I take it all in. The house is not grand but it’s not small either, it’s just perfect location for raising three boys. Its location is a merge between being in the country and being in forest. Sum it in a word, the tropics. The house, my house is painted yellow. A cross between the sun’s brightness and the seriousness of the mustard yellow, this color makes it stand out among all the green around it. It has many hills around it left, these hills seem to embrace my home. I look to the left, all I glimpse is green. Grasses that range in size and in depth of color, each uniquely similar. It emanates an energy that dives into your soul while bringing warmth. This that I see is my home, full of life. Scarce through the foliage of green you glimpse scattered houses. Giving a glimpse to any observer that civilization is here to stay and expand. I wonder, how will this evolve through the times to come? My eyes follow the curves of the many hills until it seems that the Earth just wants to fly and soar in the heavens. My eyes steer towards the center of my view. Slowly the hills start to recede to the left and to the back as if they were trying to hide. With a gentle push, you notice more houses. It seems that what was once green now is white with civilization. In this center of my land civilization has won. The green seems to implore for more space but finds little spaces to breath
