We Change

It is the cycle of life.
Time moves,
Seasons change,
We change.
We can get stuck back in time,
Now in time,
Or in morrow's uncertainties,
But we change.

We grow,
We stop talking to those friends,
We make new ones,
We think they will stay,
But we lose them yet again.
We bend some rules,
And we break some.
We break some bones,
And we mend some.
We end up hurting others,
And we get hurt too.
We forgive,
And we are forgiven.

We think we control life,
That we have all the time,
But we don't.
Life is really short,
And it moves fast.
Death snatches people close to us,
We console others,
And we receive consolation.

We get worried,
We get broke,
We get money,
We get merry,
We think richness counts,
Only to realize it really counts less.

We get high,
We get drunk,
We hit the road,
We screw up,
We get to be the life of the party,
Then we make a party out of life.

We find love,
We make love,
We break up.
We get scared of loving,
We grow some thick skin,
And we learn to love again.

We find our soulmates,
We know who they are,
Yet someway somehow,
We never get to end up with them.
Reason?
Maybe it's ego or pride or fear?
Who knows?
Twisted how this world spins,
The axis degree keeps shifting,
The stars take time to align,
Or they just never do.
Nevertheless,
We find someone to grow old with.

We have kids,
We struggle to find balance,
They grow,
We see us in them,
We try.

It is the cycle of life.
Time moves,
Seasons change,
We change.

21st Century Twenties

The freaking hellish twenties of century 21. Pheewwh!! I know I'm not the only one feeling this especially about the mid 20's. It is such a mental time. It is a time when you have to remind yourself each day that everything will be okay because the world is not what you thought. It is a time when you learn that peace of mind is actually something people struggle to find. It is a time when you cannot seem to understand life or God. When you will roll through all emotions at once. You will be sad then happy, high then low. It is a time when you learn that "I- don't -know- what -I- feel" is also an emotion by itself. When relationships will end without drama but you still hurt as hell, probably even more than if it had ended with drama.  It is a time when you will unlearn the things you learnt. When people will move to upper niches in their lives and you will feel left behind. People will be getting married and having children and you will feel lik...

God is As Simple

I was born and raised Catholic and I love being Catholic but through the years I have come to learn that the whole idea of religion is overrated and that churches limit us. I think to understand the Creator, people sat down and developed ideas to try to explain who God is and how to worship him. Don't get me wrong, I respect people and their way of worship. I just don't like it when some of these people criticize others or think they have a one way ticket to heaven because their way of worshipping God is superior to others.  Some might label me a bad Catholic christian but in all honesty, I don't think understanding the whole complex doctrine and knowing the number of garments a priest dons for mass matters. Then why do I still go for mass you might ask or why have I not changed churches? I go because there is where I find peace. There is something ethereal and majestic about cathedrals especially when I find myself alone on some random day. As crazy as it may soun...

The Road Premier

I was travelling from Premier to Kericho town on one gloomy day in January. For such short journeys along the Kericho-Bomet highway, I prefer matatus from Kisii to those from Bomet. With Kisii's, two things will happen; either my temper will get tested or my short journey will be quiet. It is mostly the latter than the former but I'd rather have that than boarding a car from Bomet where a passenger wants to make small talk about clans. The touts also like 'selling people' and charging extra. I like it when my journeys are quiet. Just me overlooking the lush tea plantations. Anyway, I was in this Kisii matatu and usually in Kisii matatus the driver and the conductor are always chatting. This time however, the conductor was quiet and he kept on counting the cash while he was talking with a lady seated behind the driver. This lady had a really cute child with big eyes. They were talking in Kisii of course so I didn't understand what they were talking about...
