jacaranda tree blossoms
sunsets
avocados – 3 for a dollar
beautiful African profiles
little Joviti’s hugs
milk in a box (creamy)
giraffes!
dirt paths winding through communities of Masai huts
smoked pork chops from Meat King grocers
freshly washed feet after a hot dusty trudge into town
amazing life stories of amazing people
the hair raising adventure of any form of transportation on any road anywhere
the respectful traditional greetings of children to their elders/ the response of the elder’s blessing
t I m e s l o w e d w a y d o w n
interdependency
kazoo birds in their flying kazoo bird band
an African wedding with African feet moving to that African beat
the laughing sound of a goat's call
a good belly laugh over yet another botched attempt at Swahili
the silhouette of an acacia tree
ready smiles and long greetings
a cold tall glass of passion fruit juice (with no sugar to spoil it!)
fewer things in my house to dust, organize, fix, store, wash
women with bundles, bags, pots, stacks balanced expertly on their heads
color and flowing liquid shapes
little feet in little school shoes; hair done done up lovingly
water... in any form
courage, dignity, grace in the face of the most challenging of circumstances
