Delondi Ngoma Kintaudi Work In Progress

My name describes and summarizes me my essence, vitality, and pressence it is the model I search for with stretching arms and pray in my heart to become it is a constant reminder of my potentiality forever linked to my Congo ancestry spoken indefinately as a unification of soul with stories of unity untold of family suffering and survival My name signifies their struggle and is a holistic envisioning of my grandfather's dreams Delondi means epitome not the purity of any particular race, not the misguided attempts at perfection that results in saluts and exclamtatory cries not superiority as one might arrogantly interpret with no flaws but a superiority based on effectiveness and efficiancy based on acceptance judgement and a belief that if knocked down God can bring us back up again superiority based on ones best despite one's limitations Ngoma means drum the rythym and sound that enables us to share our lives experiences the thoughts, ideas, and messages inevitably and necessarily implying a knowledge transfer from one person to another knowlege seeking, bonding, enabling and sharing our inner most feelings Kintaudi means humble Humility is acceptance of ones faiures and inabilities to be without the power of the almighty
