While visiting the Caribbean Islands, I'd sit on the veranda enjoying the sun that’s warmed my skin. Quickly, oh so quickly, the sunlight disappears—Green Caribbean to Black. 
Green, the color of nature is the symbol of balance and order. The Caribbean Islands, comprised of coconut-tree-clad mountains, seashores, and verdant valleys of sugar cane and bananas, are called Paradise by many. The setting sun turns the island black, bringing with it a restfulness, a peacefulness, a mystery of potential and possibility. Oh how I love to visit.
