My Santiago

Santiago Cathedral Wednesday 13th December 2017

I sit, pensive, Recollecting thoughts in this place of worship.

Cuba, phonetic, Kuba, And Santiago; Bustling city of Fidel’s revolution, Marx’s Socialism poured into every vein, Infused in every pore of its human fabric.

And yet also, the paradox; Catholic to the core!

Both Socialist and Catholic, Rational and Spiritual, Man and God!

And somehow, In Kuba, paradox makes sense.
