During the day I visited the forest, to witness for myself the extent of the destruction. Acres and acres of greenery had been striped off to make way for farms. I was very disappointed. I took a short cut back but ended up lost. I decided to listen for the sound of water, the waterfall, Begoro’s hidden aquatic jewel. I found water, but not what I was looking for. A little crystal clear stream, one I had not seen before. Begoro has seven different waterfalls hidden in the forest. Going along the banks, I discovered the flowers grandmamma had talked about in her Ananse stories. A bunch of small clustered flowers, of different colours, on a stalk affectionately called ‘Ananse dokono’ or Ananse’s kenkey. The squirrels too shy to share the sight with me, were also scurrying across the forest floor from tree to tree; i guess they wanted to see who was trespassing and probably leaving their homes in fear of dying in their houses on top of prime woods, identified for felling.
