REMEMBRANCE OF CHRISTMAS

 

During the Christmas season, one of the traditions in Ghana was to build a trash house. This trash house was built out of the leaves from a palm tree.  You then spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in it rejoicing the day Christ was born.  This custom symbolized the humble way that Christ came into the world born in a stable.  Although I must confess that, I was never able to spend the whole night in the palm house.  I missed my bed and the nights were cold.

          It was Christmas Eve and my elder brother, Clarence and I decided to climb a tall tree to cut down a few posts to build our little Christmas house.  While my tall and on the way to becoming fat brother climbed the tree I stood at the bottom of the tree to point out which of the best limbs to cut.  Suddenly I heard a loud “crack.” Then before my horrified eyes, Clarence came crashing down from the tree landing on a pointed tree stump with a loud “thump”. His right thigh was punctured

    Bravely he held on to his thigh and told me not to cry. Quickly he ripped his shirt off and told me to tie a tourniquet above the wound. How that idea came to him, I would never know.  I scampered home screaming for help.  What a courageous big brother Clarence was. Lucky for us my parents were home, they rushed him to the Hospital.  “Oh! For the love of parents what would kids do?”

I remember Christmas.

REMEMBRANCE OF CHRISTMAS

 

 

I remember Christmas, when as a little boy I sat Under the Christmas tree and gazed at all the toys that Santa had brought for my brother and I.  Me saying aloud “Santa must be a very good man”.

Those words brought tears of joy to my Grandfather’s eyes.  At that age I had no Idea that he was one of Santa’s great helpers, who brought all those wonderful gifts that were, adorned the bottom of our Christmas tree.  The essence of Christmas, giving gifts of love.

I remember Christmas.

Guyana 2013 Last Episode

On day six I paid a visit to my Uncle’s kitchen garden {via horse cart?} there on the ground was a fallen ripe bat bitten Buxton Spice Mango “Mango tropical fruit supreme” .  I picked it up washed it and cut away the bat bitten area {bats always pick the sweetest and ripest of the mangoes they are mango experts}. I then proceeded to slice eat it up.  Suddenly I heard my uncle say Rowan! “You don’t cut a mango you dig a bite in it”. I had somehow forgotten how to eat a mango. I did just what he said” I dug a bite into the bat bitten mango and the sweet sticky juices started sliding down my throat and flowing down my chin onto my shirt.  When the  mango juice has your hands all sticky and you  start sucking down on the mango down on the mango  seed  and mango flesh get stock in your teeth you have achieved mango ecstasy.  {Buxton Spice} the king of mangoes.

I have come to the end of my Guyana trip 2013 blog I hope you enjoyed the journey.  Attached inks to my eBook,and web site Marabunta also a few paintings please feel free to inquire of all art shown on my blog.
