"Hot Heat"

These days are not so hot.  Can you imagine some of the hottest ones?

Hotness has been increasingly presented to us as something life threatening. We can feel that the climate has changed. The atmosphere is sticky with heat in Kingston city; they created a “heat island” with all these concrete buildings. They call it development. Some explain that a regular day these days can feel like the sun is exploding unto the streets.

Hot Heat. That is what I call it these days. Dry, sticky and humid, while you are driving without AC or sitting inside a house in Spanish Town. I took a walk in Liguanea and experienced the hottest heat I ever had just walking on the street a little after mid day. My skin burnt with hot heat and I wondered if this could be as real as they say. Would we one day burn up on Earth. I saw some leaves of a tree and desired the shade. I knew this was the only answer we could offer that would ever make a real difference. Replant the earth and make it a jungle out there like in the Congo. Mother nature is not unfair, she has given us the formula which we are to use to support continued quality life on earth.

These days, some days, I use a fan to get rid of the Hot Heat. In my studio there never used to be one. I prided myself with that, for I had succeeded to get a way from the city and the climate changing Hot Heat. Where I was there was so much green and trees. The cool shade made me look wealthy.

The fan blows the breeze in 2026 . I feel sad about the change I am witnessing. I must face reality we will all suffer from Hot Heat otherwise known as La Nina. In the coolest places even in the shade I see a man made fan.
