This blog is a plática, a conversation, in both Spanish and English about being a Boricua, a Puerto Rican, en la luna, or on the moon (or on its metaphorical facsimile: the United States). The phrase is the title of a poem by Juan Antonio Corretjer, which was made into a song by Roy Brown and updated by Puerto Rican Spanish-rock group Fiel a la Vega.

Believe
Like a miracle, today's sun finally coaxed the reluctant daffodils in our backyard to open and to look toward it with hope.
Also with hope, the white dogwood is sprouting little green "hands" all over the ends of its spindly branches, which look ready to unfold and stretch.
That is one of my favorite things about spring: that it does spring, inevitable.

I love the idea of dogwoods sprouting little green "hands" so much! Thanks for that.
