'I used to have an appetite for my life, but now it is gone.'
I remember there was this fries joint on moi avenue, Nairobi that I used to frequent back then when I was at Daystar university. Love those days when i was just a normal kinky young man. so when the bus would drop us, I would pass by for my usual dose of gossip from the waitress, haaa! she was so Luhya, and the fries. I miss the place.
Then there was the bench on Kenyatta avenue! Lol. let me not even get there. But I thank Cee for the eye opener. I really did learn. And now those lessons come in handy as I hitch hiked to Kampala and such. Three days after crossing the border,not much's changed. I can still see the benches like they are in kenya. The public transport is worse, and the tuktuks a nightmare.
I am trying to locate my good friend Eddy. I only remember the street, not the house number, but I can bet my memory will recall the house. so, here I am seated on a bench on the street, just like the one in Nairobi- with my laptop and a modem that is acting up and trying to do my articles and edit the script. But I am happy. that is paramount. And finally, two of my favourites from the pray, love saga:
"Ruin is a Gift"...Ruin is the road to Transformation.Only those who have stood in the ashes can understand the beauty of Ruin.
"The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go."
