my second post!

Man that first one was just so fun i have to do another! So today's lesson is on the word "cemi" (see previous post by Sarah for our first introduction to the word). I feel it is my husbandly duty to come to her aide and explain why she spells it like that, and how she is, in fact, trying to broaden all of our cultural understanding! Because while you may think that she simply misspelled the word... you don't realize that she was in fact making reference to...

THIS! Family... meet Cemi Stone.. Cemi Stone.. family. Now that we've all been properly introduced, this is who Sarah was talking about. What you may not realize is that when Sarah isn't filling her brains with immeasurable amounts of drug-related wisdom.. she relaxes by researching the native tribes of the Caribbean islands. A secret passion of hers. In her study of the Taino region she stumbled across this little guy, which is a prominent symbol for the Deity in their culture. The three points are especially interesting. She had theorized that the truth of the God head was once known in that civilization as demonstrated by the ancient symbol, however the belief was lost in the apostasy. Still.. another example of the truth. And it is this lost truth.. that has inspired her to change the way to spell 'semi' in an effort to enlighten all of us! That..... or she just never knew how to spell Semi-truck. ..... the world may never know....
