Have you looked forward to the prospect of something and it did not materialize? Well, my Lily did not produce a flower this Easter. In the midst of my disappointment there are recurring thoughts of the many beautiful strings of lilies that are strung in my associations.
I pray that you are not daunted by your unfulfilled expectations but your passion will inspire you to produce no matter your displeasure.
The Oxford Concise English Dictionary defines Legend as “as a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated; a myth.” Okay it is Easter Sunday and in Montserrat there is a legend that there is a white mermaid who appears at the top of Chances Pond every Easter at midnight. Hundreds of Islanders would climb Chances Mountain which is 3002ft using torches. They said that one must arrive before dawn take the mermaids comb from her and ran to the sea before they could be caught they would be rich for life. They never said exactly what you should do with the comb once you arrived at the seashore.
