Jerry: Dedicated to Lucifer at Birth


This is Jerry. He is homeless. I have shared some of his story with you, but I want to share the part that blew me away. Jerry was born in the very tough city of Colon, Panama. At birth his mother dedicated him to Lucifer. It sounds like a fanciful story, but Jerry was trained at a young age to serve Lucifer.

I sat with him one evening late when it was raining. He laid out his piece of cardboard under the eves of a store and I asked if I could share his space and chat with him for a while. In a mix of Creole English and Spanish he told me his story. He told me of  The Engine a "very bad spirit" that was assigned to him at birth and still lives with him to this day.

Jerry carries his Bible with him everywhere he goes. I think it is an attempt to ward off this bad spirit.

He is a good guy, Jerry.

He is trying to find redemption.

And after hearing his story, I don't blame him.....

To Love,
laura

Beware of Falling Mangoes

There is a book I love called An Embarrassment of Mangoes . Its about a couple sailing in the Caribbean, meeting locals, and collecting recipes. It is nearly my favorite book of all time because this is what I want to do with my life...sail the Caribbean and collect people and recipes. Little did I dream one day I would own a Tiki Bar and B&B in Costa Rica, much less one gifted with mango trees. In fact, I do think I am going to need to post a WATCH FOR FALLING MANGOES sign above my door as the still green fruit is falling off the trees. I have no idea why. A local told me the tree sheds the unwanted-unfit fruit before it ripens. I am glad no-one has shed me. So I am waiting for the fruit to ripen and dreaming of ways to use it: mango-chili chutney, mango mohitos, mango ice-cream, mango topped burgers. I am dreaming quite actively actually, as it looks like soon I will be the proud owner of an embarrassment of mangoes!
