Sarah By The River. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Every morning, I wake to the rhythmic sounds of coos pounding. It is a curiously alluring, gently rousing lullaby. The thudding of the heavy wooden mallet against the coos. The unexpected pauses. The changes in tempo. The sweeping resonance. Such a simple song, but one that bewitches me. Fatoumata preparing lunch. Nene practices coos pounding. Fatoumata smiles, a little embarrassed by my attention. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Soaking Amie Gundo in a bucket...
