Loud filthy streets of a city that constantly moves around my walking feet
Happily fills days, memories and journeys
Waking under familiar nets in a familiar town
in a familiar heat Happily fills mornings, memories and histories

There are so many differences between the East African Communities (cleanliness, music, dancing, language, size, vistas, food etc.) but i'm glad to say that some of the joyful similarities are the freedom in which they know one another and the gentleness but strength of spirit.

Celeste, it is a comfort to know the most joyful things are the most similar things!
ReplyDeleteHave many of your Ugandan friends been to Rwanda? or very far from their home?
When you can, or should i say have the internet, share some of the meals you had with the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur...yum~
i bet Paulinee and Vale missed their 'sweet treats'!
it is gentleness
which does strengthen the spirit~
the days are getting warmer here,
but the mornings and late evenings
are still cool and breezy~
so i dig as often as i can
for when the heat will be too much.
we have strawberries!! yum...
