A hand holds a bright orange bitter melon. The plant’s green leaves frame the vivid fruit, a reminder of nature’s own medicine growing close to the earth.

Ah. Ok. I understand.
Well for us, the sun finally came out, blasting!

It’s a collection of raw, reflective spirit-led essays, not a novel.
Has to be read over many sittings. More like a book you sip slow, one piece at a time. 😊

I refuse
To wait for an invitation
To sit at a table
My ancestors already set.

A colorful display of Ilis Trudie Palmer’s books arranged together: Dancing Between Tall Grass, Chronicles of an Awakening Soul, Woke to Joy, Let the Sun Shine on My Face, and She Sits and Shells Peas. The covers show vibrant art, from silhouettes in sunset to portraits and nature-inspired scenes.

I lose things often. Most times they come back.

As Mother Nature displays her awesome power,
delicate flowers play catch with raindrops.

Happy Wet Wednesday from my side, Friends

And the lost was founded. 🤣
Our neighbour found them, he was helping to remove young banana suckers from the plot.

#WokeToJoy grew out Ilis' own shadows and songs.
It sits in the same lineage as Walcott’s sea-winds, Brathwaite’s nation-language, Lorde’s truth-fire, Danticat’s matriarchal memory, and Ó Tuama’s contemplative pauses.

It is Caribbean, yet universal, and asks you to read slowly, one sip at a time. 🌱

It is amazing indeed. Sometimes you see one or two with ragged wings..you know they come from far.
