Tonight...I boiled crabs that Bebe delivered to the Wetlands Youth Summit. The kids used them in a relay race...and I used them to reconnect myself to my grandma. I boiled them, but I wasnt hungry...so I made them into stew crabs. I knew how to do it...but Ive never done this myself. I knew how to do it because I watched my grandma do it when I was too young to go to school. I was 4 then...and now, Im 37. It took me 33 years to make stew crabs...but I knew how to do it...and there is something in that that makes me feel strong...like she was...filling water jugs from the cistern...gathering eggs from the chickens she made me feed...picking cucumbers from around the cesspool that grew like magic... I love this place... I will fight for this place....but Im still learning what that means...
