His name is Moses and he is the keeper of the White River. The island itself is about 200 sq miles and is home to only about 78k people due to the magnificent mountain range that occupies most of the land.</p> <p>Mountains of four and five thousand feet tower above the lush rainforest below. They literally suck water out of the clouds creating a land that is so fertile, so green that every corner is growing. So I flew to this land without much more information than this man's name and the general area that he and the rest of the Rastafarian community lived. But I knew in my heart that he had something to teach me, and I him if I may humbly say so, and need not worry about such minor details. So I made my way and finally the van driver says "down there" pointing to a dirt road disappearing into the bush.</p> <p>It wasn't long before the road opened up to a huge valley littered with small cabins, crops and fruit trees. At the bottom of the road, which switched back down the side of the mountain, I saw a beautiful rasta man pulling the bark off of a cinnamon tree branch. I asked for Moses and he smiled, pointing to the small wood cabin beyond. I tried not to imagine what such a man would look like or have any expectations but I cannot imagine a more fitting appearance for such a man. His energy is very strong and very natural and grounded.</p> <p><a href="http://heartoftheinitiate.com/library/articles/moses-keeper-of-the-white-river">read more</a></p> babylon bush doctor dominica moses peter richardson rastafarian white river Tue, 08 Aug 2006 10:32:18 -0500 Webmaster 66 at http://heartoftheinitiate.com
