Kórima

I imagine some may be wondering what “kórima” means. Those who are familiar with the Tarahumara people, or have read Born to Run, will know the meaning. That may not be many of you, which is cool, I’ll explain!  The Tarahumara people live in the northwest part of Mexico. I, being from Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico, grew up seeing these kind people throughout the city. They are humble, hard working people, who believe in caring for each other, in being a community. The Tarahumara don’t have a monetary system; they use “kórima” as a way to barter. There is not a direct translation to English. It is their way of life, their sense of karma. They believe it is your obligation to share what you can spare without expectations. Once it has left your hands, it was never yours to begin with.

I love the meaning of the word, being able to give without expectation. How beautiful is that? I am giving you a little part of me, a little sass, spunk, COLOR, light, something to take your mind off of things, a reason to dream of wonderful things. I’m doing this without expecting you to like me, because I know, you’ll LOVE ME!
