The Fire that burns inside!

Image
It's been a while since i wrote, and it feels good to write. It calms me and drains the ashes and wax after a candle burns out inside me. I am one of these beings driven by sparks, i love to explore and exploit thoughts and possibilities, sometimes i feel this small percentage of fear but no, not many moments do i want to let fear overcome me. I have learnt in courageous and passionate ways how to overcome fear. I hate the 'safe' zone, that zone where you settle because you feel 'safe'. That 'safe' zone to me is a dangerous one, it makes me feel like i am not living, like am hanging around and i can't stand that. Every time i find myself in that zone, i itch like one with scabies, i burn inside till it feels like am going to blow out!. I have to get out of that zone, then i feel like myself.

It takes patience for such. well, here are some tips i learnt that day and been putting them into practice. Le...

Connecting to another human being!

Five years ago, my country was up in flames! Reason being that a president had been voted in (or whatever happened that they found their way there). Sad thing is, the people who were in power, rich and protected remained rich and protected!. My fellow kenyans, lost their property, their friends, and their homes. They suffered emotional and pysical abuse that has affected their lives directly or indirectly since then to date. It is sad when we have been friends and neighbours long enough in life that it was ok just pop in unannounced and have dinner, to being the same people who slaughtered each other to death because suddenly we had realised that we were from differrent tribes or had originated from differrent parts of the country. We only realised the differrence after the elections!. We owe it to ourselves to think and analyse the gains we get from these so called politicians. Politics is the dirtiest game we have watched revolve in kenya, from politicians hating on each o...
