In memory of my beloved mother, Sonia Salasde Polanco,
my best friend and teacher.
I AM!
I am the mountains,
I am the river,
I am the rain,
I am the light,
I am the wind,
I am the forest,
I am me,
I am you,
We are one,
Let’s play together,
Let’s walk together,
Let’s laugh together,
Let’s sing together,
Let’s dance together!
ONE - Wayta Arrives to the Magical Forest
Inthe distance walks a boy wearing simple clothes and sandals. He has a hat andcarries a bag on his back. He is a boy with a radiant face with deep and pureeyes.
“Hi! Myname is Wayta, I come from a faraway land with high mountains and deep blueskies. I live in the country. In our village we have many animals. I help feed them and I love seeing themgrow. I have travelled many days to get to the forest. I have come to discoverthe magical places in this huge forest!”
Waytawalks into the forest. He is very impressed with the beautiful trees, plants,flowers and animals. Animals he has never seen before. There are many birds andbutterflies in different colors, frogs and monkeys. It is very different fromthe place where he comes from.
Waytacontinues walking, when in the distance, he sees a native boy dressed in whiteand is barefoot. The boy is sitting on a rock near a river. Wayta is curious and gets closer. The boy has his eyesclosed. It seems he is meditating. (Meditating means he is sitting with hiseyes closed in silence.)
“Hi! Myname is Wayta. What is your name?” The boy opens his eyes, smiles and says, “Myname is Penjaga.” Wayta asks, “Penjaga? I’venever heard that name before.” Penjaga replies, “It means guardian . The forest gave me thatname. I am the guardian of the forest!”
Wayta isvery impressed. “Wow, you are the guardian of this magical forest?” Penjagasays, “Yes! I take care of the forest, rivers, birds, animals, insects, trees,lakes and caves!”
Waytawas happy to meet Penjaga, he now has a friend. Wayta feels this boy can helphim find the magical places he wants to see so much.
“Have you seen the magical places?” asks Wayta veryexcitedly. “Yes, many times” replies Penjaga.
Waytacan’t wait anymore to see those places that are full of mystery. “Can you take me to those places, please?” He asks.
Penjagavery calmly and with authority replies, “Yes, I have visited them many times but I cannot take you.You must find them on your own!”
Wayta asks, “By myself? But, why?” The boy says, “The forest will showyou the magical places! You must have determination and much desire to see thehidden wonders!”
“Ok,where do I begin my search?” asks Wayta.
“I willguide you. I will be close to you always. Remember, you must listen to thevoice of your heart, your heart will guide you!” says Penjaga.
