This weekend i re-connected with my roots, i visited my mother and had a chance to even go to the countryside, my place of birth, to see GOGO, she turned 100 yrs old this year. What an emotional time for me, seeing the place i was born and some old faces, its been a childhood. I must say it was rather therapautic.
I got some goodies for this week, from far far away.
"...imagine that. Livin' a century, the strength of her memories
Felt like an angel had been sent to me
She lived from nigger to colored to negro to black
To afro then african-american and right back to nigger
You figure she'd be bitter in the twilight
But she alright, 'cause she done sseen the circle of life..."
Heppie heppie for your Gogo. And thank you for sharing. Reflections are introspections into the orifice that is self awareness. Knowledge of self is knowledge of others.
Peace.
Beautiful
the area you grew up in is one beautiful beautiful place. I often think that where I grew up inspired me to take photo's. glad you got your goodies, there's nothing like going home...
