Wed. 4/3/14 It is 6:08 in the morning and just got through
thinking about what I read regarding the life of Madiba last night. This was in
the eighties while he was negotiating for his freedom. The concept that caught my attention this
morning is “freedom”. Am I a “free” man
today?
In this case, my actions will speak for themselves; your
actions can tell the world whether you are a free man or not. On the other hand
the decisions that one makes tells us whether he is a free man or not.
For example, freedom
of speech is an ideology I would like to embrace in a “time” like this. I
hope to be in a meeting today sometime before noon at the head-quarters of
ONEGUA. I was in a meeting where the current
governor of the region Izabal, Raul Estradam came to Labuga with his team to do
something about the climate of insecurity here at our home town. He came because he said two weeks ago that
Livingston is in his veins. To give you
an idea, it was one day later that a group of Garífuna teenagers conspired to
steal nine of my chickens. Since then,
they have managed to terrorize the community. Tomorrow there is a good
possibility that a representative from the Board of Tourism, along with the
adviser of the current president, are scheduled to be in Livingston to speak
with members of Parlamento Garífuna and the Board of Directors of
ONEGUA.
The dialogue with this particular government, from my point
of view, has come to a Dead End. I
have decided to take a break at this precise moment 6:51 in the morning because
it started raining like the sky was coming down.
