The moon and mango seas
On my way home from work tonight, I watched as a gigantic full moon gradually got brighter and brighter. I thought back to those nights on Paama when the full moon lit up the island and I could walk around without a torch (as compared to those no-moon nights where I could barely see where I was walking). I always felt so light on those nights, as if I were floating through clouds.
Then there were those late afternoons when, from my hammock, I watched as the last rays of the sun filtered through the leaves of the mango tree in the nakamal area of Liro Village. The air became like liquid, a soft green sea, and it took no imagination at all to be swimming through that transluscent heaven.
