Meeting at Dretchi

Saturday 30th August 2008

Did I know where I was going today? What you think? lol Yeah, you're right lol I had no clue! lol But you know me, just going with the flow because I'm already feeling so bubbly and joyous from my experiences over the past five days. And believe me, those five days did not feel like five days at all!

Anyway, we got to the meeting and I sat and observed. Again, the issues raised at this meeting fell right into my garden. What is God up to? Six days ago I was just being lethargic and now all of a sudden I'm muy ocupada! lol I just sat in the meeting absolutely amazed! lol Growing up I always wanted to do something worthwhile, something that will make a difference and I often wondered how would I fit in the big puzzle but God was shaping and rounding my corners all along! lol hmmm...

I got the opportunity to speak with Mr Carl Herrera after the meeting. It was a productive conversation and also confirmation of many ideas that were beginning to take form in my mind. I have something to offer to the Deaf community of Trinidad and Tobago and a contribution to make to the untouched academic field where linguistics, language and the Deaf are concerned. The 'wh' questions and the one 'h' question did not deter me. When? Where? What? Why? Who? How? Nope! God is in control! He will make a way!

Well I was able to meet so much more Deaf persons. I was just stunned by how quiet the van was even though it was filled lol. I liked the peace :) The most interesting thing was the intermittent laughter. Oh just hearing the laughter made me giggle! I'm serious. It is so genuine and never really intended just to be polite to others, if you know what I mean. It's a genuine, heartfelt kind of laughter because its unheard by the communicators. Imagine that! wow

Well, one thing I must mention is the image of Stephen skipping home when we dropped him off. A young adult in his twenties, tall and slim skipping home lol!! Have we gotten so adulterated that we have imprisoned the child within us? Ahh...I learn so much from them!

I wonder what Sigmund Freud would say if he were alive?
