Today I was treated to a wonderful demonstration of a Somoan islander tradition as my friend, Eni, who is native to this beautiful paradise revealed how they make fire. Fire to them represents life. Eni explained to me that where there is fire, life flourishes. He also quips that the men are the cooks in his part of Polynesia, and the women… well, you can watch and find out. Eni does a masterful job in the following video of making short work out of creating an ember and then transforming it into a flame. I am so excited– Eni has offered to teach me more important survival methods in the near future! I will trade acupuncture treatments in exchange for his tutorings of the valuable knowledge he has gleaned from his elders. Watch for great things to come from this honorable man. I can’t wait for his instruction on how to build traps to snare wild boars. He has done this and will show us how to as well. Hold on tight; to be continued…
