A to Z April Challenge - P is for Paradise




Today's inspiration is Paradise.

I am currently in Cairns, Queensland, visiting relatives. So I thought this word was doubly appropriate.

I hope you all have a good Easter.


Outside the storm was raging. Wind whipping through the trees and rain hammering at the roof top. It was your typical monsoon style storm, everything was humid and muggy.

Softly I ran my fingers over the book in front of me. Years of handling had softened the leather, darkening the original colour and obscuring the original tooled letters.

I didn't need to read them to know what they said. Family bible. The original family bible, passed down since my family had first come to this land. Destined to be passed down to the next generation.

Even though it was Good Friday, I didn't want to read that story. Instead I turned to Genesis and the Garden of Eden.
