Peter Celestine, 62 lives on a ridgeline in Paramin, a point so high that within the space of minutes the clouds descend and everything becomes a fog -then lift again to reveal a view of country and man that seems unreal in our time.
"I have family lower down in the village but no children. I live alone.
The accident happened 12 years ago in Blanchisseuse when I was hunting and stepped in a trap gun.
It took three years to heal. While I was waiting for a (prosthetic) leg, I made one myself with PVC, wood and some screws and went back to work.
This one I got a year ago.
In the early days, I used to get up in the morning and think and feel I still had a leg and fall but now I can I can climb trees for coconuts. It’s never stopped me from doing anything.
I plant kush kush, cabbage, sieve, provisions. I sell to people up here and if I have extra I take it down (to POS).
If I want to fish, I fish. If I want to hunt, I hunt.
People come up here and ask me to sell my land all the time but I won’t. I don’t have electricity. I have gas to cook. I collect rain water and have the flambeaux at night.
I had a woman who lived with me seven years but then she left.
I have a drink, a smoke.
No worries- no problems"
