While I was being consumed by an over whelming and
depressing feeling about some of the events that are unfolding in a time and
moment that is also transcendental in our lives as Garinagu in Guatemala and
beyond boundaries. As a people we are dealing with some of the most difficult
times and point in our history here in my hometown of Labuga. I have been
living in Labuga for the past twelve years; it’s been like climbing a mountain,
and as we get closer to the top, I can feel the pressure and its beginning to
tear us apart.
In this case, sometimes I feel like I am being pulled in
different directions on our way to the top.
Speaking of directions, I have been a person for the most part of my
life without a sense of direction. Like
most Garínagu, I use to rather take the mainstream and go with the flow.
Having said all that, I would like for you to keep me in
your company a few minutes more. While I was in Barranco not long ago at the
home of Dr. Joe, I began to understand that the word WABA in the Garífuna
language extends far beyond a material or physical structure. In my
understanding the Word WABA, is a concept that embraces the family nucleolus,
where the seeing and the unseen comes together.
The first time I saw a cave was in Gangadiwali on the 19th
December 2008. I was there to select a parcel of land to make real a wish that
I had since I heard Roy Cayetano spoke in 2005 about his farm and the joy of
farming. At first I thought it was just
a big hole in the ground, but farther observation indicated that it was
cave. To make a long story short, I was
so afraid of the cave that I did not approach it until the 14th March 2013.
Case and point, today is Sunday, 24th 2013 it is now 1:28
and just had one of the most mystical moments of my life that came on a page
from a book that I am now reading for the second time. It was page twelve of
this book that brought us back to my recent article which I wrote two months
ago, Who Will Set the Standards?
WABA in this case, is a concept of having a “Center”. It is
about taking a good look at the inside which is also a concept of home, being
at peace with who and what we are.
