sight

Over winter break I had the privilege of being able to go on the Ghana trip. It was a 2 week endeavor that focused on helping high school students cultivate a sense of entrepreneurship and compete with other schools by giving two minute business pitches of the product or service they created. While we were there, we had time to explore the country a little and see some of its natural beauty. I have always loved tropical climates, but haven't been able to spend a lot of time in one. Being able to walk through the jungle on suspended rope bridges and swim out to a fishing canoe was hands down one of the most exciting and special experiences I've ever had. I took pictures of it all, but when I go back and look at them now they don't convey what I saw when I was there. You can see tall trees and green vegetation overlooking rolling hills dotted with small houses, but you can't see them in the focus and clarity that I saw them in when I was there. It was one of those experiences where pictures and words just can't do it justice; these kinds of experiences are "you had to be there" ones.  I don't get the same feeling from looking at the pictures I took because sight has a bigger impact when you're immersed in the view and in the moment.

Amidst the Pandemic

We’re so accustomed to the lifestyle of being busy that it has become the norm for many of us. However, the pandemic has forced us to slow down. We’re now appreciating everything that we had previously taken for granted and noticing things in our surroundings that we have never noticed before.  Take this quarantining/social distancing as an opportunity to be more aware of what you experience through the senses. I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirpin...

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was...
