   so sorry about betty here is my start of Con Of Con’sJust another day in Paradise, as Rachael does her stretches and looks out to the Caribbean sea, all the colors of greens and blues the eye can take in. The sun already getting unbearable hot, her routine starts with the smell of coffee brewing, so inviting with the scent of almond and vanilla flavoring the air. Rachael was tempted to have another, especially with her favorite Jamaican crème rum.
   Catching the bus was very important trip today. So a 2nd cup was not going to be savored, only downed.
   Rachael needed to take off and power walk up the high road past the grave yard to the bus stop. It was going to be another hot day in paradise.
   Finding an empty seat wasn’t to hard this sticky morning. The bus will soon be packed as they pick up more of the villagers and take them to Dangriga stopping along they way every lane or so.
   Danny V gets on the old principal of the high school, now just another old alcoholic with wet brain, Rachael calls him Mr. Movie Star s he is always wearing his free sunglasses he received from the Mercy ship when they offered free eye care. That man can really fill a suit, as old as he is he still has a great body when going to a wedding or a funeral the black suit white shirt and tie really makes him one handsome man.
   He is so happy, as he climbs aboard all smiles and says “I love riding the bus, cause you play such good music“. Everyone smiles back at him with a wave of hello. Watina was playing. Andy Palacio’s CD that made Garifuna music pleasant to listen to. The music tells a story of who they are. “Watina” meaning calling as if one was too visit another to call on them. The throb of this steamy polyrhymic music was in the air. This music was derived from African sources, it had become dance and trance music in the Caribbean and an award winning musical contribution. The drumming had a rhythm, an addiction, it was their God. It was the movement in things, it was motion, the ebbed flow, the clickety-clack of life. You have to drink with and eat the food with these people to observe their traditions to understand the heart and the soul of the people is their music. You earn a right to hear it, you must respect and honor the culture that creates it. This music made me powerful, and even though the singing was in anther language I didn’t understand, I was getting it. I was receiving its message, and it made me feel special .This was my fanciful moment. I was part of the image that we where all the same, this wonderful music was not mine alone. I was as free as a bird when I soared with the music all the Fuckazodes could not ruin my moment of being truly blessed among my companions in this mode of music. The drums brought us all together with the universal beat, it captured the imagination, made you drift to the unknown the far away, and the dangerous. The mind went wild with possibilities, Having access to their daily lives their experiences and their essence. An amazing adventure for a city girl with a New York state of mind. A romp, a voyage to the other side of the world. The surviving in this Third World had an addicting intensity that ultimately guided my life in a complete different direction than I would believe to be my daily routine of life. There was no more going too the mall, Sac’s 5th Ave, Victoria’s Secrets, the variety of delicatessens or for a fun afternoon with a glass of wine and a nice brie on French bread for a appetizer before a grand dinner in a chic restaurant. Our world here was rice and beans. The problem of having it for lunch is you might have to have it for dinner. Always “Today’s Special” Stewed chicken Rice and Beans and exactly the same anywhere in the whole country of Belize. The one thing they do have in common is their boring cuisine! What an unity. They eat to survive where, Rachael ate to be pleased, another luxury she missed, eating for pleasure, never mind the glass of wine in a long stem glass.
   As Rachael was feeling comfortable the only white on the bus she felt one with them as she too sang the words she memorized while looking at the faces, how happy these people where singing and rocking to the music they so love, music being the universal language. The drums turn thought into sound it gives shape to our thoughts and feelings. It takes listeners to appreciate music, to find the magic of music. Music is the path, the spirit travels between the physical and metaphysical worlds. Music is the considered the sacred art. The people are happy indeed there is no mistaking it in their songs, the old songs. The deep throated raris are played often because of the Andy Palacio’s hard work that killed him from stress, not an easy task keeping the culture going in the folk songs he recorded and their dance around the drums that will always be, as long as there is a drum beat somewhere.
