“More than anything, this place feels familiar. I bury my hands in the hot sand and think about the embodiment of memory or, more specifically, our natural ability to carry the past in our bodies and minds.

I quietly thank this ancestor of mine for surviving the trip so that I could one day return.”
― Raquel Cepeda, Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina
