I wake up every morning, sometimes early, sometimes late and when I look outside the window this is what I see. I see the sunrise of course, beautiful in all its majestic glory but as it rises so does the diesel smoke which erupts from a big exhaust pipe of a really medium sized truck. Black and foggy, its sort of a challenge to the sun that it cannot dispense beauty to the world anymore. I also notice a sweaty shamba boy digging the earth out of its comfort, toiling as if speaking to the soil telling it to give in so that he can feed his children in the village. He cannot feed his five chicks. Next I look at myself, the mirror telling me a story of myself that I do not want to see.......that I am big going on to fat (yes my friends, I also noticed and I am going to do something about it), intelligent, young African man who has so much potential but for many reasons (those known and unknown ) this potential only manifests itself in dreams. Why is that? Why does life give me the short end of the stick forcing me to make it longer? And no!!! I am not complaining or ranting I am just politely saying what most people are thinking and not saying. Well this is life, life is like eating a snail with a straw, the meat is just right there but you just cannot get it out!!!! Maybe I am using the wrong tactics and have to change. I certainly have had better days. Anyway......this is not a confessional (for those of you who are worried ), I have just used my life as an example of the point I am trying to get across ..............as humans we all go through a lot in this life cycle, a lot of things happen, Those we can control and those we cannot control, some things are just outright ridiculous. This is what my blog is about, a simplistic, complicated, holistic, objective, subjective sometimes contradictory outlook on the events of life whether social, political, religious, or philosophical. May I add metaphysical? This is my simple plight, join me as we delve into the subject of what is
just life!!!!
