Fusion
Fusion with paradise is the ultimate state of everything. You become an element within it. Its energy flows within your body and soul; it is like a supercharger, like tequila in a margarita. It mixes into your bloodstream and can be felt everywhere; your temples tingle as warm winds massage your skin, igniting your imagination and love. Your toes are tickled by the warm, soft, shape-shifting sand as you realize that you no longer dress for protection from the elements but to embrace them.
Paradise pulsates in your heart. Love is as fluid as the crystal blue waters in a tropical sea. Gusts of wind rustle through the palm fronds and carry the scent of coconuts. They are the messengers of sunshine.
Love is no longer a longing; it is the state of your existence — a love affair with nature, with mankind, and with yourself. You are washed and rinsed with appreciation and are humbled by your life. You wouldn’t trade places with anyone.
You instinctually volunteer to steward newcomers. You pick up litter, you make sure people are smiling, and you are gracious with your time. Realization after realization floods your senses like waves hitting the beach. You come to understand that kindness expands your reach; your soul grows with every act of caring and kindness you perform.
You become more whole as traces of you, like fingerprints left by your touch; your kindness integrates the recipients and forms your collective membership in humanity. If you see someone who needs help, you don’t view them as a burden but an opportunity.
Suddenly, there are two oceans in which you exist — the warm, wet one surrounding your body that removes the weight of the world and the main one that you simultaneously embrace as it embraces you. Warm tropical breezes fill your lungs and wrap your body with the feel, sounds, and ambiance of paradise. You are no longer taking up space. It belongs to you, and you it. You know that this is where you are supposed to be, and you marvel at how wonderful life can be.
You have become a person of love and compassion. Your priorities shift — from ruling the world to smiles and laughter. Paradise is like faith; no one can exactly explain it, but you cross over to it somehow, and you live your dream. Welcome to paradise; we have been waiting for you.

“I met Perry one week last June. He came through here with his camera and laptop, a head full of ideas, and his heart full of dreams. We talked at length — or I talked, he mostly listened. He reminded me that you don’t have to go to prison to truly appreciate freedom. What I shared with him, he now shares with you in The Palm Tree Express. Don’t wait — get busy living or get busy dying.” — Andy Dufresne
There is a tequila secret down south in this part of Mexico. This secret is only whispered late at night on a deserted beach.
Let’s listen in now…
“Oh, Pedro, I don’t have a bathing suit, and I am afraid of the sharks at night.”
Pedro whispers, “Senorita, that is not a problem. I assure you. It is a secret here that those who swim naked after drinking tequila will not be bitten by the sharks. The sharks hate the taste of tequila. It is true on my mother’s soul, I swear.”
The naïve Senorita giggles, “Is that true, Pedro?”
“Well, love, I know the tequila part is, but I am not one hundred percent sure about the no-no to bikinis. But the way I think of it, why take a chance, Sí, Señorita?”
“Hehe, okay, Pedro, hand me the tequila and turn your back to me so I can undress.”
Pedro turns his back on the lovely Señorita and, lying through his grinning teeth, he replies as believably as he can, ‘Sí, Señorita, I will not turn around, I promise.’
