Never Seen
The Stars
“I’ve never
seen the stars like this before,” remarked Tre’von.
“You must
have spent your whole life in the city,” I guessed.
“That’s
true”, he said and then he started to rap something along the lines of,
“Your ego
says you’re such a big shot
When you
see the stars you’re not even a shot
Not even a
spot
Not even a
dot…"
He was
really liking the early excursion, making our way through small hamlets under
the ever-changing sky. He was appreciating the brahma muhurta hour, the time
before sun up . He told me Einstein called it ‘the genius spot’.
The sun had
just come and Matt from ‘The Standard News’ came by with a recorder. It was
question time. “The Daily Item” news also sent a rep who took notes.
“Why
notepaper and a pen?” Vivasvan asked when he caught up to us with his van.
The
reporter said, “If I record, I’ll have to listen to it all again. I just take
notes.”
As the
questions went on, Tre’von took the liberty to grab Vivasvan’s camera and then
walk a few metres to the gathering of local farmers huddled around
representatives of the controversial Monsanto. With camera in hand Tre’von
posed challenging questions regarding the tampering of God’s seeds. Monsanto’s
rep attempted to respond to radical Tre’von’s cutting queries.
I wasn’t
there to hear the dialogue but my daily companion put his warrior self out to
action and then relayed back to us the stirring points that were exchanged.
The final
little rendezvous place along Buffalo Valley Trail Run was the termination spot
for my walking today. We then rushed to Pittsburgh
for my flight to Edmonton Pennsylvania
May the
Source be with you!
