Hilary Kolodziej- Native Africans
Today, I was thinking about the reading I did in the Original Visions text. There was one piece of information in particular that caught my attention. The author mentioned the Pygmies of the BaMbuti faith and their focus on optimism. He wrote how they remained positive, even in times of pain and death. By singing to the forest, they were certain the trees heard and understood their troubles. These songs reveal vulnerability and showed their "deepest self." Also, he mentioned that by remaining optimistic and cherishing every stage of life, they have successfully made family connections the most important part of their life.
