metro african ligkaribe

I’m a Bantu girl (likgaribe) of Setswana/ Sotho /Shona descent.. Having grown up in Bulawayo I also have a strong Ndebele heritage. Currently I live in Botswana but a part of me will always be Ndebele. I am of the Mmirwa tribe –, my totem is the Buffalo & just like the Buffalo I am very brave, protective, fierce and dangerous when provoked. I love learning about my African heritage, and that of other people, I believe if you stop learning as a person you might as well roll over and die.

The question

The myriad things return to one? Where does the one return too?
When I was in Ching Chau I made a cloth shirt, it weighed seven pounds
(try to imagine the cloth shirt, the making of the cloth shirt, from the choosing of the cotton seeds, the planting of the cotton, the harvesting, the yarning, the spinning, the weaving of the cloth, and finally the cutting and sewing of the cloth shirt? After all the making of a cloth shirt in true essence involves all these stages – try to imagine the weight of it, can it weight that much, is it a cloth shirt? Did he make a cloth shirt or did he make something else? What are the myriad things, why do they return to one, what is the one?)
“The Question: it stimulates our imagination, it takes us further, it helps us to reach out beyond ourselves, our limit, our capacity – it is the Great Doubt.” Neo Kgwatalala
