Behind The Torch – The Marantu Dispatch
Ntu begins.
This month is not about planting or tending.
It is about remembering —
the breath before effort,
the self before the story,
the flame before the work.
I’ve spent months watering gardens I could see and soil I couldn’t.
Now Ntu asks a different question:
Who is doing the watering?
Before Marantu can become a city,
I must become the one who can carry it.
This month, I return to my own beginning —
not to start over,
but to begin deeper.
