K’an kelen-kelen wuli!
Of all the
wishes, greetings and farewells the Bamana People bestow on each other and
their guests this is the one dearest to me.
May we get up
one by one!
As with many
Bamana blessings, this one does not merely concern an individual but the whole
community: if nothing unexpected happens during the night, if no disrupting
event interrupts our sleep, we will wake up naturally, one by one, each at
their pace.
Is there a better
way to wish for peace?
