Funeral season
Last night, the funeral officially started. Which meant last night, I also got no sleep. The masses had taken up every available space around my house, sleeping under my porch etc.
There was a woman croning something from the roof of one of the houses in the courtyard, they paraded around banging on their own versions of drums, a couple hundred of them. They made matching teeshirts for the dead woman. Just a little rediculous.
There was a goat with his throat slit laying about three feet from my door when I did come out for the festivities last night. But mostly, I avoided the spectacle, because of how many people crowded around staring at me when I did come out. This morning I would say there was about 40 people staring at me loading up my bike like the show was better than a three ring circus.
Things will quite down now I think. I had something more uplifting to say than this, some uplifting moments with the kids to share, but Im out of time.
Its hard for me to gauge how negative or positive I am being with my words.
