  • Paul Keens-Douglas was born in September of 1942 in San Juan, Trinidad, but spent his early childhood in Grenada where he attended Presentation Boys College.
    As one writer puts it, " Paul Keens-Douglas celebrates our rich cultural amalgam and Caribbean landscapes like nobody else does. With a bubbling well of humour, humanity and heart, he reaches into the innermost crevices of ourselves and our cultures, and brings us back to joy, feeling, to the real sweetness of our societies."

    The true Spirit is the Holy Spirit from Jesus Christ,alll the rest is made up
    hope you read the bible and understand Gods wisdom
    if you haven't yet, make a change, turn your life to Christ if you don't want to go to hell( Matthew 16:24, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,John 14:6
    )
    Many people will disagree and mock you trust me, but its worth it for an eternity praising our Creator. As Jesus said "if they hate you remember they first hated me"(John 15:18). Read the KJV bible, start from the New testament. God bless you

      It's only a story, folklore really. It's just about entertainment so folk don't really believe these things. (What he is saying.)
      Thank you for sharing God's word though. THAT is the truth. God's blessings upon you.
