TetriIn Guyana there was a river. My sister and I went swimmingthere. Once she suddenly disappeared under the calm surfaceof the water and I panicked. I couldn’t find her. I was terrified.For a long time I didn’t know what happened to her. She couldswim, and after a while she came back to the surface.RosemaryI was in the park with my three-year-old grandson. We werewalking and he said, “Stop Grandma or you’ll walk into thelake!” It was an imaginary lake and we went fishing there.DianaI remember Yvonne, calling my Mom and I over when shewas taking a bath with the water almost overflowing. She wasfloating on her back and shaking and swishing her head andlong black hair in the water saying, “Look I’m a lion!”AzeemanI can swim very well, yeah. I swim backwards. I can swim veryfar. I would catch fish in the ocean with my hands.MonaI was in Miami recently. I remember standing in the ocean andletting the huge waves wash over me, right over my head, againand again. It was beautiful.
Later during our tea time, Mona hurried back to her apartmentto get framed seashells she had made for a friend and a poemshe had written when her son died, three years ago.Mona has shared the grief and pain of losing her son to suicideand told us that the opening show of ‘Bridge of One Hair” onApril 26, 2007 would mark the third anniversary of his death. Italked to Faye about incorporating Mona’s poem in the play.The poem was full of pain but at its heart was the memoryof her son’s voice and laughter. This is one example of theserendipitous connections between art and life that emergefrom community arts. Mona’s poem becoming part of ‘Bridgeof One Hair’ gives another story of pain, cleansing and newbeginning, in tune with the play’s central narrative about theSomali woman, Nellie, Nettie and Mollie.●
