the
inspiration
In Trinidad, every day around 5pm my cats would cue "it's time to go outside". We'd stay until the sun was gone.
One of those evenings, the setting sun and those clouds close to it were painted in red orange. Everything in its path glowed with a golden warmth.
The Kiskadees and blackbirds were back and forth wrapping up their day, while the bats were starting theirs. The rhythm of the various melodies at this magic hour planted this seed; Saam Saam.
