Dust my Broom
Description
About
Dust my broom as far as I can tell means simply leaving. The term came to me from delta blues artists like Robert Johnson and Son House. My research shows that it may have originated during the slave days in the US. Blacks were not allowed to marry and so would have secret ceremonies where the bride and groom would “jump the broom”. To divorce, simply enough, they would jump back over, or dust the broom. I have read that the term originated in Africa but have found nothing concise.
Born in 68 in the Swan River Valley in Manitoba and was raised up north of the 54th in Thompson with the boreal for my yard. Just a half-breed, half-man in his element. A proud Metis who grew up hunting, trapping and fishing. Still like those things and sometimes I would rather be doing that then sitting hunched over a computer doing math and stuff - but a guy has to eat and take care of his family. My thoughts always drift to the simple life of the land and someday I will return. I currently live in Olds, Alberta and I am a self-employed structural designer in the engineered wood products industry. I am a proud single father and have big hopes for the future.
I spent five years in northern California and being in the US opened my eyes to different political and social thoughts then what I had grown up with and seen around me. I guess I could consider myself a centrist but have been known to lean far right on some issues….
