Carenza is a term we use in Kali to describe solo practice. Sometimes involving intense visualization, sometimes a way to express creativity, it is one of the things I love, but have not done since William’s passing. From the Italian, meaning absence, and the Latin, a lacking, being without, or separated from, what we call Carenza is also called Sayaw in the Sayoc and Atienza Kali systems. Sayaw means dance. I haven’t brought myself to dance until this past Sunday, William’s 18th birthday. My feet were heavy, but not as heavy as my heart. But for William, in both tribute and celebration, I did rejoin the dance.

William helping me with a project, many years ago.

One of my Mom’s favorite stories to tell about William is the time I left a long blade holstered on his wheelchair and they found it at school. She was called, along with Baltimore County Police to take possession of William’s “sword”. A letter was sent home with all students that afternoon to inform their families that a student had brought a deadly weapon to school!
