Cotton Cogs and Little Candies

How powerful can an idea or thought be? If it is strong enough, than a masterful writer can take that and wrap that one meaning into a cornucopia of stories and pieces. They can have multiple layers of deep meanings spread throughout a myriad of texts and mediums to convey the same heartfelt message of hope and love. Even crazier, is multiple authors can grasp the same powerful idea and produce an even broader range of emotions and reactions. Take Cotton Candy and Little Cog-burt for example. Both different authors separated by different backgrounds offering some very similar messages and takeaways from their beautiful Caribbean stories. The stories follow two strong women who face bleak situations, but blossom like a flower through concrete. Moira, in Little Cog-burt  , has to deal with the realization that her old way of life isn't manageable anymore and she needs to adapt and overcome to the new way of things.

The Real Breakdown

Oral stories are some of the most exhilarating in the story telling art! "Tetiyette and the Devil" is no exception. The author, or speaker rather, conveys a heartfelt message to families and especially young adult woman with suitors hot on their tail.

Cuba is the largest island located in the Caribbean. It has a land mass of 42,426 miles squared. The rest of the Caribbean added together barely comes close to the entirety of Cuba. It's home to about 11 and a half million people! Roughly of those people, about 11 million of them speak their version of Spanish, called Cuban Spanish. The rest of the population speaks a dialect of Haitian Creole, Lucimi, and Corsican. The country has been a Democratic Centralist Party since the 1950's-1960's with the whole communist fiasco that happened there. Cuban's practice this art called "Santeria" which is their version of shamanism/ esoteric physics. Each of the Caribbean and Central American countries has their individual version of it, which derives from a Afro-Spanish people called  The Yoruba. Around the 17th century, the Yoruban culture migrated to Cuba along with Catholicism to blend into what we call "Santeria" which is practiced more today than Catholic

I'm a person who is deeply interested in meta physics and esoteric philosophy. All of our rulers, politicians, and celebrities follow these arts so why not us? Our human experience is the ultimate expression of love and life and understanding the truth is key to happiness and longevity. We are more than just our skin-suits and i'll be damned if i let some two-bit nut job dictate my human experience! We're here to create heaven on earth, not manifest our own hell.
