This is a letter for my Paraguay.

02/13/08

Dear Paraguay:

Its been so long since the last time we saw each other, that you held my hand and showed me around, that your river showed me that if you look straight there is always another side and opposite side perhaps, and that there is always a new start somewhere.

It’s been so long, that I almost forgot the heat of a January day, and the taste of the mangos falling from almost every tree around, covering your sidewalks from all tones of yellows, sometimes it’s even hard to remember the holes on the streets or the dirt in some alleys…Sometimes I tend to forget about the bad things and I just emphasize the good things.

There have been times that I felt trapped inside my thoughts but I never wanted to leave, but I did, I left hoping for a new start as you taught me…I wonder if its time to go back and try to rescue those years that haven’t spent there, to reach those faces that I would have met but never did, to live those emotions that now are just numbness of my soul.

Today, I wish I could walk errant thru your parks and streets, feel that hot and humid breeze almost suffocating my emotions, sit on a sidewalk of any street and just wait endlessly, for nothing and nobody.

Today I wish to see your face one more time again, to kiss the palms of your hands in gratitude of all what you gave me, to thank you for never holding me back or judging me, and If I’m a happy and free of mind person is mostly thanks of you.

I still remember our last time together as you said: Go, look for you happiness wherever you can find it, but remember that I will always be here waiting for you with my arms wide open, that was our pact…so I left in peace because I always knew you would be there waiting for me.

I miss you badly and I know you miss me too, and this blog is my way to thank you and tell the world what a wonderful country you are and that you are and always will be part of my life.

Happy Valentines day!

Con Mucho amor,

Muna.
