Thamar

Thamar

She was asked for a

church Testimony..!

And was told it was OK

to talk about her 

schooldays as a teacher..

The Testimony was

about an epiphany and
a little boy and

this is how it unfolded..

These kindergarteners 

a few of them anyway

act as squirrels..!

Squirrels..!!

They exhibit chaotic

unpredictable motions

requiring a teacher's

instantaneous response..

One year 

one of these squirrels 

named Thamar

out-squirreled all of

the other squirrels..

This child of Jamaica

soon became acquainted

with the teacher's

marks on a blackboard

which meant:

Squirrel curtailment..

Time for recess

was diminished with

each succeeding mark

on that blackboard..

Three marks and

a recess evaporated

in front of Thamar's

penetrating eyes..

Recess..how important

is it to a restless boy..?

He had a dream

and in that dream

God spoke to him

about His dislike

of white women

placing marks on

a blackboard which

most adversely

affected his Freedom..

The following day

he was energized

to relay this

divine message to

that teacher bearing

her chalk..!

And the message

pierced  her heart

writing a happy 

epiphany 

ending this story:

The chalk was retired

and Thamar's Freedom

embraced...
