THE CROCODILE FACTOR STORY-ENIGMA Around an African Tree (River, Pyramid...?)
- EPISODE II-
THE TWO KEEPERS OF THE PYRAMID...? OR A DREAM CALLED: 'THE WINGED CROCODILE AND THE DISABLED SHAMAN AROUND AN AFRICAN PYRAMID...'(… this second episode will be divided into parts.)
EPISODE II- PART A
… Kako was in front of the WE-Village-Chief, and many other Notables ofthe WE-Village were around them; new and old faces of WE-Village-Notables...; ready to hear their Chief confront the DREAM of this young Shaman of SoulShoe-Village: as a DREAM it's probably important to know about their old and single-eyed WE-Village-Crocodile...
« Always having to wait for I-Man-Chiefto speak first... » Young Shaman KaKo thought to himself; trying to concentrate on how he would express this strange DREAM he had about the Chief's Crocodile… He was still trying to concentrate on how, he could better explain the way this Croco-Beast was speaking to him in his DREAM which faded into laughter... Yes, more and more in the last remembrances of his DREAM, it appeared to him, that the crocodile... which seemed to keep… keep some distance from him... was laughing-lapping?-Laughing-lapping-laughing!... before what?... Fading Away!?...
So as he, KaaaKooo (the son of…) muna Sister-You na andThe-Bone-of-tears of I-Konè, was still alive, from the day he awoke from that DREAM until now, there weren't really any Croco-Beast attacks for him to be afraid of... (really!? along this WE-Chief’s compound alone...?! or in any other of his coming dreams: about…?! What? What!?…) but only to understand for now the aftermath of his own DREAM in front of this WE-Village-Chief and the many Notable Elders around… All ready to convey their point of view...
All must understand now the aftermath of KaKo’s DREAM in front of this WE-Village-Chief and the many Notable Elders…
(…around… us…!? My dear I-Friend-Shaman-Traveler! Here-We-Are-Again-Trying-To… To… What? What: To Let Some Be Transformed & Be Welcomed as thinking crocos…??? As single eyed smiling-lapping-crocos…??? Here We Are Again?!...) Some reasoning about KaKo’s… what?... What?... Knowing some of these Elders’s wives from this WE-Village had assisted and supported a more than painful delivery some years ago, his strange and difficult mother’s pregnancy; but that was another story about KaKo’s coming on earth; somewhere in his SoulShoe-Village (!?)… And all those same women from WE-Village knew more about the story of his birth: KaKo’s birth… Was KaKo already different from all other babies born on that day…? {<A sensemillancestral birthday! KaKo's sensemillancestral birth!...> That was the real terms those Elders’ wives brought from SoulShoe-Village on that day!..} All those women were still alive, all able to move forward towards any paths of the village and to enter into their Chief’s compound; and at least whenever each of them wanted to talk with their Chief: let it be about KaKo’s birth or let it be about their relatives from ‘The SoulShoe-Village’…
… Dear I-Friend-Shaman-Traveler do please remember these words: “so inthis Chief's compound, or yard, how can children say there was no laughter at all...!?” Because, coming from these same women allowing us to talk about KaKo’s birth… oops! KaKo’s sensemillancestral birthday! a new ritual seemed to arise in WE-Village, a new ritual defining more and more how to confront any disrespectful young villager, male or female… Soôoô as fairly as possible (?), any youth of the WE-Village, male or female, more than eleven, who dared to annoy one of them ()… So without him or her anticipating a new way of laughing in front of… of… whom…? And Who Is… So Slowly Crippling On All Fours (lapping and coming)... But could suddenly be coming to meet as well with any kind of shadows of a disrespectful human-form… And So Sure It Is: In WE-Village, This ‘Who’ Will Surely Always Be For That Old Single Eyed Crocodile; now belonging to all; to all of us! my dear friend-Traveler…
Let’ssay: to anyone, old or young, who disrespects one of those women who happened to touch or pull out more than only baby-KaKo’s feet, his challenge of the day will be to build up his own or her own courage. You will instantly and loudly be notified to come first… reason awhile… and, depending on the intensity of your own disrespectful words, according to your own bad-minded intentions while weighing the foolishness of one of your actions. Well balanced by her, you could have been ordered to come forwards, let’s say, as loudly for all to hear, to enter and pluck some three or four different leaves from the trees inside the Chief’s compound… Mostly be ordered as well to come back to reason again… much deeper and longer if needed with she who has created that ritual against what… what…?
… To enter and pluck three or four different leaves from the trees inside the WE-Chief’s compound…???
Soôo KaaaKooo has done it plainly before the Chief’s eyes… of course! Thefirst time KaaaKooo! visiting his relatives with his parents when he was only six, yes, when he was six, entered and picked up leaves and fruits from this Chief’s compound’s trees… Already… amongst the four or five little and small aligned stones, he, as a very young shaman, well detected on that day, out of his native village, abnormally he was willing to continue to lay them… one by one??? all those fruits and
leaves picked upon this same croco’s back…! Sure, on that special day, in front of this same Chief & some other Elders-Shamans, all younger of course than they were now…
Slowly Crippling On All Fours…
… So! My dear I-Friend-Traveler! Let’s all bear or understand anotherlong lapping-chanting in this Chief’s compound; as a lapping-chanting of all of us before silently starting this day scrutinizing KaKo’s shamans skills… KaKo’s shamans tasks…? Backgrounds…!? Abilities…? But KaKo’s abilities to do what…? To learn…? Or to observe… Observing as best as he could easily drawing any animals’ colors of eyes in his own mind's eye…
KaaKooo are you able to distinguish two croco-beastsfrom their two-eyes-looking… Both of them looking at you at different moments (?)… Are you?... And will you also be able to recognize, after touching them, all those croco-skins’ from your own native SoulShoe-Village…? Are you going to become invisible or turn Croco-Headed KaaaaKooo simply by covering with one of those special ones croco-skins from… (from where…? Where?) By simply covering up with a blanket made of a lot of croco-twins-skins’ all upon his body parts and… what…? Just to have maybe some of his body parts disappear while falling asleep… or in a trance… In a trance…!? KaaKooo! KaaaKooo! Are you going to fall into a sort of croco stillness trance and learn how to… to what? Disappear???... To see our dear young shaman KaaaKooo meditate, and fall asleep in any kind of clearings that he may happen to be in, all his body parts covered…
… Yes, all this seems to be another step of initiation for KaKo to take;and as long as he wanted to become a powerful and helpful shaman; one traveling from his native SoulShoe-Village to… to… (?) (at least to… to Warriors Equilibrum Village…)
What he needed was to walk on alllevels of shamans-initiation; and living that process, he has to be
tested either; level by level; by… by… others…
Others... So,we'recalling out to you, to you all, I-Friends-Shaman-Travelers ‘surely not covered by KaKo’s new blanket made of skins’ of crocos… to notice when KaaaKooo!... Yes when KaKo at the end of this new meeting of the day will disappear from the Chief’s compound… At least while leaving the WE-Village in front of all…
<< Always having to wait for I-Man-WE-Chief to… to... (to… to… what?.)>> KaKo was to think again...
(SomeElders were rearranging some of the Chiefs’ masks??? Masks and all strange shoes around??... before standing still to manage their best at the opening of the session) Clapping of hands and chanting were in the air; all now were murmuring deeply; helping their Chief to set up a long and mournful 'crocodile-chanting-song' before following all openings of the session; the session about the Young Shaman KaaaaKooo... (oops! KaKo!) was to start… So naturally as some Elders managed to have a new long silence, he began to speak: "… Welcome again Young Shaman Kali-Konè muna Sister Kali-You na Ewess’a The Bone of Konè!... So! It seems you have had a dream about this crocodile of ours of Warrior-Equilibrium Village, soôooô...! Before you start to tell your strange DREAM, talk about your meeting with that strange crocoooodile, the one that reminded you of that old crocodile of mine that was lapping!... Just like you can hear him now, from my backyard. (Lap!... Lap...! And he went on saying:) Let me tell you, Young Shaman KaaaaKooo, my dear friend, ANOTHER DREAM ABOUT A CROCODILE IS; as you can easily admit now is about other people: being warriors, being shaman, or maybe even Chiefs, or humble ones, WHO CAN ALSO HAVE DREAMS ABOUT THE SAME -TYPE OF- ANIMAL..! » He took a long breath, then continued: « Now, hear me out! Young KAAAKOOOO, knowing this other DREAM had been ENTITLED long before ANY OF US HERE WERE BORN: ' The crocodile and the Shaman: The two keepers of the Pyramid'... Knowing this!... Kaaakoooo! Ô KAAKOOO Hear me out!... Soôoôo it is! So shall it be!...>>
