Sun. 10/1/16- It is 7:42 in the morning and we believe that
yesterday was a day that was set aside. Yesterday we were in Gangadiwali for
the first time this year.
In this case, we are sharing with you a forty days calendar,
for example today is day two, because day forty was Friday, 8th January
2016. Yesterday was day one therefore
today is day two and Day 40 will be on the 17th February 2016.
What caught our attention on this calendar is the 23rd
January 2016, which falls on a Saturday.
It will mark fifteen years since our return to La Buga.
Mon. 11/1/16- It is 6:05 in the morning, in this case, we
are short of words. Therefore the words
we hope to use this morning are selected for this moment. First words will
always be Thanks and Praise to the Most High and the Spirits of the Trouble
Makers. Thank You for being here.
We are short of words this morning, and this is why, we are
saying that these words are selected for a time like this. We were able to share a few minutes with
Carlos Gotay at his brother’s business; [Café Gotay] on the banks of Chewecha
River. One of the Garifuna sisters who
were singing to the Pope in Harlem New York was also present.
We were able to share a few words with Bro. Fermin on his
way back from Gangadiwali a few minutes before seeing Carlos. Later on the same day we came in touch with
Bencho and shared a message about the revelation we had on Diriwana’s Table on
the 9th January 2016.
Tues. 12/1/16- It is 6:00 in the morning and just got
through studying a message from chapter fifth teen pg. 157, Up from Slavery,
introduction by Dr. Clarence A Andrews. In so many words, it goes like this “Do
not get others to do that what you can do yourself.” On the same line, Booker T Washington added
these words my motto, on the other hand, is “Do not do that which others can do
as well.”
Speaking of “words” selected for a moment like this comes
with the message we are studying this morning. “Do not get others to do that
what you can do yourself.”
In this case, the first word is “do”. This morning we would like to paraphrase
something J.F. K said over fifty years ago. It is not about what the Garifuna
Nation can “do” for us, it should be about what we can “do” for the Garifuna
Nation.
Speaking in public is a power instrument; it can heal a
person or can wound a soul. We should
also keep in mind that words can be like a double edge sword. So far today has
taught us to be very selective with words.
Wed. 13/1/16- It is 5:06 in the morning and just got through
studying a message from the same book but on a different page. The message we
are about to share with you is something we would enjoy “doing” for the rest of
our lives, “that we begin our day in the morning which is taking place at this
moment. We expect to have a successful and pleasant day of it but at the same
time we prepare ourselves for the unpleasant and unexpected hard places.
We have mentioned the painful transition that we are going
through as A Nation. La Buga in
Guatemala is expecting the painful transition because of a change that ends
this Friday 15th January 2016 and begins on the Monday 18th 2016.
We were hoping to have Beluba, the library on wheels ready
for this occasion but in this case we would like to admit that we have fallen
short of the expectations, we are aware of the many expectations from the
library and therefore we hope to be in Barrio San Jose in La Buga on Saturday
16th January 2016.
Thurs. 14/1/16- It is 5:25 in the morning and don’t have a
clue about what Mr. Jimmy Morales could be thinking at this moment. This is a
moment we can name and baptize as Expectations. These Expectations gave birth
to a question that is born from the Ancestors of Tomorrow. The Garifuna People
of Guatemala also have Expectations. We
plan to follow these expectations from the moment you are sworn as the
President of the republic of Guatemala.
Yesterday and tomorrow will mark another timeline in the
Political and Spiritual life of La Buga, Guatemala because of what took place
yesterday on our way to Gangadiwali. The
Garifuna Rida is in our Hands and should be in Gangadiwali on Saturday the 23rd
January 2016.
On the other hand, tomorrow will mark not the end, but the
beginning of a Political and Spiritual life for Chente, because he is being
prepared for the next cycle.
You see, it is how we understand the concept of expectation.
It looks like hopes in the middle of yesterday and tomorrow.
La Buga awaits a change in the Muni that will end on the
18th January 2016 and begins in January 2020. The next administration for the
Muni may have to start at the bottom and not on top.
The expectations we have for the coming administration is on
a trial basis. We will try our best and we expect the same in return, not only
from Miguel Rax but also from Jimmy Morales, not only from the South but also
from the North.
Au-le
