With coral reefs, everglades, and limestone just beneath the surface, the mysteries of Key Largo are larger than what meets the eye. This is a place that can teach one to live in the moment, because when one is living in the here and now, one is one with all of the things in the world that celebrate oneness. It’s wonderful to feel such oneness in Key Largo, and to enter into this world where one is always at oneness. For places to stay in the oneness, this link can get you on your way, and the rest is adventure, and if you happen to like Bertie Higgins as much as I do, then please take some of my words as a a cautionary tale.
If you happen to fall in love, and find yourself dressed like a pirate and staying with your loved one, also dressed like a pirate, be careful when you are on a ship. This is common sense for some, and certainly for me now, but at the time, we figured we were safe at sea, because the sea was our home, our mother, and we were her eternal orphans. We did have it all, and we had a plan to pillage and plunder, and live off the fat of the land, along with the fat of the places we plundered. But the stars were different than we had imagined, and the stars had far more complicated plans for us.
We were not exactly pirates in the technical sense. We had little plastic eye patches, and she wore a plastic peg leg and folded her leg under it. We weren’t on our own ship, but more like a cruise ship, or perhaps better to call it, a canoe. We sang that song over and over, and talked about what we would do when we got our first booty. We loved life so dearly back in those days, or perhaps it’s better to say, that weekend. Spiced rum was our love potion, and spiced rum is what done her in. It’s hard to balance in a canoe. It’s hard, sometimes, not to fall. I don’t know if she is still angry with me for rowing back to shore before she had a chance to surface, but I know that she thinks about me, because people tell me that when she hears my name, she turns all the colors of the rainbow, like a parrot.
