Traveling upon the Level of time.

Thank you for the awesome hospitality, nageira.
We learned more about each other.

Well, I missed my bus, I know I’m late
I gotta do something, I know I hate…

Become a part of the solution, Griga.

Reach Up, Reach Out….be kind to strangers. You know what I mean?

SoBel photo of the season. Pedigree of Excellence.

The moral might of Africa.

Standing squarely with the hottest ticket at this year’s United Nations Conference.

Two citizens of the Caribbean facing confidently the myriads of social, cultural, political and economic challenges of the Caribbean and Latin America regions.

A new approach to our common struggles is urgently in demand. We cannot go wrong with appealing to the genius of our common ancestry. The descendants of a captive ancestry were placed here for the noble purpose of lifting this region with lofty ideas of spiritual and moral excellence. No longer shall we be hewers of wood, in one region; wake up and live in another; chase them crazy bald heads out of yard, throughout the entire Caribbean. Africa Unite!

The Spirit of Excellence imported from Africa has become a rallying point for nations of the world. Prime Minister Mottley effortlessly evoked the genius and moral might of Africa. Calls for reparations from children of Africa to the governments of colonial capitals are growing in momentum. So are appeals for unity within our populations. The demand for recognition of mutual respect between governments and peoples is also now a common theme. It is an honor to be standing tall with this epoch changing figure.

SoBel photo highlights subjects of a new way of thinking among peoples of the Caribbean. Mia, the hottest personality at this year’s United Nations Conference has emerged as a unifying, inspiring world figure.

SoBel Belize @ 45: Refer, re-align..

May all our endeavors tend to peace, social justice, liberty, national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge (The Belize National Prayer)

Forty-five years ago, at that momentous event, I witnessed Premier Price announcing the creation of a new nation; present also was Dame Minita Gordon, who as Governor General, affirmed our colonial past. As a young soldier, then, along with members of the Honor guard detachment, we greeted the Queen’s security guarantee of the safety of our nation. We knew then that we could not take on Guatemala alone. The British soldier remained our friend.

And then there was the party. Belize was one huge celebration! We drank rivers of Belikin that day. We danced the night away. In every corner of the city, there was a celebration. We were all brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors. Frankly, there was no reason to be otherwise. We were free! And there were no guns. No enemy to fight with.

Since then we’ve moved on to build this new project. A dream we are still celebrating. Sometimes the going gets tough. But what did we expect? We are alive and building a nation. There’s only one structure I’ve read about where there was not heard the sound of hammer or any tool of iron when it was building. In that case it was a reference to the Souls of men. An ideal deep in the Belizean idea of independence. Price explained it to me once when I met him in garrison. It was a Godly idea, a manly ideal, a Fraternal thing. Explore what this man had in mind and the ills in our present Belize will vanish to make way for a more prosperous and happier country.

Reach Up, Reach Out….refer, re-align.

Happy 45th birthday, Belize.

SoBel joins in moving this nation building project forward.

SoBel photos of the day: Rhythm of the day.

Ready, set, throw, recovery, repeat.

SoBel captures, Mr. Brandon Kerr, a Hope Creek resident, sparing no effort to make things happen. Like many laborers whose primary reason for facing the day is to provide for their families, Mr. Kerr uses available technology to exploit the natural resource to provide for himself and his family.

Nothing is wasted in this effort. From the flex, through the throw, to the recovery, demonstrates a skill that requires keen eyes, a steady balance, and superb physical conditioning. This type of hustling is not for the weak. But it must be done. And it is rewarding! In a container nearby, SoBel observed the morning catch. Sufficient for breakfast and lunch.

SoBel acknowledges our laborers. Your families love and respect you for your work in providing for them. Remember to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water.

SoBel photo of the week: Star bright.

Undoubtedly the surest sign of a homecoming. SoBel had the honor of meeting with an extraordinary local talent with national acclaim. Economist and professor, Dr.Phillip Teddy Castillo, took the time out to say, ‘welcome home,’ my brother. A goodwill greeting that cemented the hospitality of beautiful, hot Dangriga.

Dr. Cas has, through his famous Castillo polls, predicted the outcome of recent elections with such accuracy that, they have the elements of prophecy. This learned man applied his science with such efficiency, that the Culture Capital has started to set their watches to his time.

His interpretations of hard to read economic data have confounded government planners as well. Students who benefited from Dr. Castillo’s methods of instruction have set their sights higher than academic accreditation. They aspire to become leaders; confident that they have inherited an elixir to success.

Teddy is a son of the Dangriga soil. He grew up in an environment that fostered education and fairness standards. This reflects in the honesty and sincerity that shines brightly in his work.

Meeting with Dr. Castillo today is the high point of SoBel’s visit to Dangriga.

Sobel photo of the day: To understand than to be understood.

The tongue: God’s instrument of peace.

Catholic priest Fr. Nicolas answers the call to Shepard to Catholic flock in Dangriga and the surrounding area. Father Nicolas is a visitor from Haiti and a leading official of the Commission of Catholic priest in Central America.

Mass opened in traditional Garifuna greeting. Father Nicolas took the Mass a step further in our native tongue. The man sounded native. He spoke the language well. A refreshing change to the spirit of the congregation. His instructors must be credited for their masterful teaching of the Garifuna language to this new face in our local church community. Dangriga is invited to worship with us to witness again a miracle of the tongue. Sacred Heart Church main attraction will be here until September 25th.

SoBel thought of the day: The legacy of St. George’s Caye decision to stand and fight.

The Baymen and their descendants made no provision for this. Tradition informed us that we agreed to join the fight in saving the British Honduras colony. That we did! Our Ancestors saw the future as the Baymen did, but through a different lens. No longer shall we be hewers of wood. They also knew for this project to work we must remain united in keeping our families strong. Whoever, therefore, subscribe to a classist ideology in dividing the Belize nation can choose to exit the Land of the Free scene.

I see no reason, why, on occasions like this, that commemorate a long ago struggle for survival, the local and national leadership did not inspire the nation to ‘put on the armor’ of national unity. The muskets that aimed against the Spanish invader have been replaced by the 9 mm pistols used to drain the blood of our young nation. The pork and dough ration shared by master and slave and freed men during those challenging times has been replaced by out of reach sustenance for many Belizean.

These are not political talking points. These are realities for Belize at 45 that cannot simply be ignored. I implore to the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition, to ignite the spirit of unity to inspire our people to move as one, as a nation.

Since the Baymen showed their mettle in fighting for the colony, let it be highlighted that the Black men and women, free and slave, fought valiantly, then and throughout the history of Belize, to save the soul of our nation.

SoBel’s Commerce Street story: Between here and there.

SoBel’s Dangriga tour captured the quiet scene of Southern Belize’s ultra famous Commerce Street. Once the heart of a growing Culture Capital community, this small part of central Dangriga whispers highs and lows of bygone years. One set of merchants are now being replaced with a new set.

The once eye catching Casa Lisa has been transformed to reflect Dangriga’s architectural progression. We are heading somewhere! But between here and there SoBel passed by some crowded spaces. Between here and there, SoBel met some familiar faces. Between here and there, SoBel embraced new faces. Between here and there, SoBel arrived at a very crowded place.

Happy St. George’s Caye Day, Dangriga.
