Welcome to the website. I was an exchange student in Zamora, Espana many years ago. I learned to play the Spanish Gaita (bagpipes) and still use it in my shows.
It has been as if you awoke me from my deep sleep to tell me stories of this New Morning and New Creations. last time i told friends of the Oromo Creation Stories: that in my tradition creation is every new morning. It is in the natural phenomena: in day and night, in summer, winter, automn, spring. It is in birth, life, and death and then birth. Of the Immediate Complementarity, there is no clear boundary between the living and the dead. The Living is often haunted by the spirit of the dead close kin, to come back reborn.
Hence, the Oromo time concept is not a linear fashion: it is cyclical. Death is not the ultimate human fate. Life recurs than death, all is Temporal, in my tradition. And dozens of creation stories and others crop out of this Oromo Worldview.
que gusto encontrarte auquí. Qué tal estás? Gracias por el enchufe a Ibiza, a propósito! Serán tres años que nos hemos visto, no? Espero que te vaya bien y que sigas contando tan maravillosamente como quando te ví.

Good morning.
