Sat. 25/10/14- It is 5:21 in the morning and for the most part I
have been thinking about this moment. I have been wondering since I received
two cones from Brother Fermin that had some mahogany seeds in them. It has been
nineteen days since they came from Dangriga Belize and I am anxious about
seeing the first tree.
What can be interesting about this is my message to
Monsanto; I went as far as saying to Monsanto that I will protect my seeds.
The relationship which exists between the Sower and the seed is
real between the Garifuna People and the Mahogany tree. A few days ago, I came
across one of Nancy Solien Gonzalez research [study] about our communities in
Central America. Some of the research she did in Labuga is more than fifty
years old. Today I can look back at fifty years and on a personal level would
like to extend our thanks to the Most High and our Ancestors for her
intervention in our affairs. Nancy Gonzalez has earned the respect of the
Garifuna people who understands the deepness of our Spirituality.
Through reading Dr. Gonzalez’s work I can feel the connection that
the Mahogany industry in Central America had on the Garifuna psyche. It can see
the link between then and now through the Mahogany spirit. Ahari is
a Mahogany tree that was given to me in Punta Gorda on the 31st October
2009. It will be five years a week from today since Ahari came into my life.
The Garifuna People and the Mahogany tree from my point of view go
deeper than what the naked eyes can see. I would like to repeat this statement,
but this time with a dose of “wonder” it goes like this, “The image of peace
has never before caught my attention like this, but I have learned over the
years that nature has a language that extends far beyond what the human mind
can comprehend. An image like this will open the mind of anyone that can look
into the beauty of nature.
When a person can look into the beauty of nature you can find
“Peace”.
