Wow! Thanks Errol. Thanks to all contributors to this page. It's such a joy to check out the Mausica blog on a Friday. Thanks Sandra Lewis Borde and Angela Mc Alister who told me about it. I cannot 'put a face' to many of the names, but just say "Mausica" and I'm hooked! I enjoy the pics even though I know very few of the people at any time. Keep them coming, as they enliven us.
I noted concerns that there is little obvious responses now, (Pearl and Anna Maria),and it touched me as I've had the experience in church/other when the speaker seemed to be speaking to me directly... so "What am doing about it?' Just this ...responding! (-:
How well I remember Initiation 1970 when, as a 'Fresher", I was indoctrinated into MAUSICA. Memories are mixed...I had fun, and w,uldn't have it any otherway, but knew that there many who just lived for it to be over! Even now I remember being told to " Wipe off that smile and put it in yuh pocket.!" Thank God, I have many smiles to take out of my 'pocket' and share. I especially admired people like Marcelline Ward R.I.P. aka Elke who seemed to take Initiation in good stride, and was well loved. I bring away many blessings from Mausica and Initiation was just the beginning. Two quotes that became my life line were uttered by empathetic Second years " This too shall pass." impacted on me as well as: "The darkest watch of the night is the one before the dawn, and relief is often nearest when we least expect it." Thanks Dhanpatie Lalla and others (69-71). (-: I have been able to live those assurances, and to share them with others throughout my teaching career (1970-2011) ...and to this day. Wow!!!!!
So there! I've done it.
By the way (actually it's not by the way because it's on my mind), I love the idea of Reunion 2015 being in Trinidad. Going to Monsterrat, Jamaica or some other Caribbean island - all inclusive is great but TRINIDAD! GREATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There I've said it. All the best to the organizers. You have been doing a good job.
Blessings...
