“To be born is to die! To serve is to surrender to this truth! Surely, there is no escape!”
Life is a journey full of experiences, emotions, and challenges. It is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, joy and sorrow, success and failure. But one thing that remains constant throughout this journey is the inevitability of death. From the moment we are born, we are marching towards our ultimate end. It is a stark reality that we must all come to terms with at some point in our lives.
"To be born is to die! To serve is to surrender to this truth! Surely, there is no escape!" These words are hauntingly true, as they remind us of our mortality and the temporary nature of our existence on this earth. We are born into this world, and we will inevitably leave it one day. It is a truth that we cannot run away from, no matter how hard we try.
But what does it mean to serve and surrender to this truth? In my understanding, serving is not just about fulfilling obligations or duties, but about embracing life in all its complexities and uncertainties. It is about accepting the inevitability of death and finding meaning and purpose in our limited time on this earth. Surrendering, on the other hand, is about letting go of our fears and insecurities and embracing the unknown with courage and grace.
I have personally experienced the fragility of life and the fleeting nature of time. The sudden loss of a loved one made me realize the impermanence of everything around me. It was a wake-up call that reminded me of the importance of living in the present moment and cherishing every experience and relationship that comes my way.
Reflecting on these themes of mortality, purpose, and inevitability has made me appreciate the beauty of life even more. It has taught me to value each day as a gift and to make the most of every opportunity that comes my way. It has also challenged me to think about the legacy I want to leave behind and the impact I want to have on the world.
In the grand scheme of things, we are but a small speck in the vast universe. Our lives are brief and fleeting, but they are also precious and meaningful. It is up to us to find purpose and fulfillment in our journey, to serve others with compassion and kindness, and to embrace the truth of our mortality with courage and grace. As the poet Mary Oliver once said, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Portrait of a Hamar woman near Turmi, Omo valley, southwest Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Photograph by Luisa Puccini.
"The Hamar (or Hamer) Tribe - population about 50,000 - in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region are pastoral semi-nomadic people living in the Omo River Valley. The rites of passage to adulthood of the Hamar Tribe Rituals include cattle leaping and young Hamar women getting whipped to prove their love for their kinsmen.
The entire life of the Hamar turns around their cattle, which marks the wealth of its owner-family, provides food during times of hardship and plays an important role in the tribal rituals, like dowry for weddings.
The women cultivate sorghum, beans, maize and pumpkins, fetch water, cooking and looking after the children - who start herding the goats by age eight. Men herd the cattle, plough the fields and keep bees. Young men live in grazing camps near the Omo River plains. When bush food runs out, they survive on cow’s milk and blood taken from its neck. If a man loses a family’s cattle herd his reputation will be ruined.
Appearance is extremely important to the Hamar People, having spectacular hairstyles, for both men and women, and grooming ones hair is essential to the Hamar's sense of beauty. Women paint their locks with fat and red ochre and then twist them into dreads, while often ostrich feathers and other ornaments are attached. Men who have kill£d an e.nemy or dangerous animal wear a mud cap that lasts for months. To protect their hairdos, the men always carry a borkoto, a wooden headrest for a pillow. Married women wear iron rings around their necks and they also decorate themselves with shells, glass, seed and metal beads, and they wear beaded goat skins that cover their bodies.
Iron rings, necklaces, tools, weapons, and ritual objects are made by the blacksmith (gito), who are shaman-like figures believed to have the power of the evil eye. They also are the “makers” of men and women through the scarification tools and ornaments they make."
