The Calabash Holds More Than Water (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Calabash Holds More Than Water is a soulful journey into the heart of African wisdom, where every story is a vessel and every proverb a whispered inheritance. Drawing on the rich traditions of oral storytelling, Stephen Apolima weaves a lyrical tapestry of parables, fables, and reflective prose that speak to belonging, silence, loss, resilience, and the enduring power of memory.

Set beneath baobab trees, beside market fires, and along footpaths both literal and spiritual, these modern folk tales echo the voices of elders and ancestors, carrying the weight of truths too sacred for plain speech. From "The Goat That Was Never Lost" to "The Spider's Second Web," each narrative is a metaphorical offeringsubtle, layered, and deeply resonant.

With the calabash as its central symbolboth container and memory keeperthis collection invites readers to sit, listen, and drink from a well of wisdom nearly forgotten but eternally alive. It is a book for seekers, storytellers, and those who know that the deepest truths are often spoken in silence.
