Let pass the past

Preface.

The past has way of reminding us of our inadequacies other than our accomplishments, it has a way of reminding us the pain other than joy. Quite often when I feel down trodden I close my little house in the savannah, put off my phone and grab a book, a published and a life speaking one, not romance or fiction. For the past two years I have found solace in books to disconnect with the mind. And I am a testimony of surviving depression, self pity, hopelessness and in the extreme suicidal thoughts.

One of the lessons I have and continue learning from 'The Power of Now' by ECKHART TOLLE is that you should disconnect with the mind, you are not the mind; listen to the mind and once you are free from the mind, you can observe and listen to the mind as a third party. Its called consciousness. Ask someone who has ever been in an emergency situation, they will tell you this is true. Or read the whole book. Though I will continue being the pieces with some of my life story.

If you are down today, wake up tomorrow, feel anything around you, smell the flowers and bask in the sun. Call someone you want to forgive or to forgive you whether they get indifferent or forgive, you have released your heartache a bit. 

Follow my series as I tag you along my healing journey.

Rapture from the eyes of a Pastoralist boy.

I was barely the age of looking after calves when I joined Oletukat Primary school 33 years ago, in fact there was no this current CBC then. I was an active member of 'Village under the tree Kids Bible School'; it happened every afternoon after school, Five days a week of the normal working and school going days. It never happened on Sundays for boys because we went to look after calves. Pastor Isaac was that Pastor of those times before prosperity gospel;  his teachings were squarely based on giving life to Christ, repentance, rapture and the end of the world.Those pastors who were more than headmasters that if wrong, especially licking sugar when send to the shop,your mom threatens to go tell him or you sleep hungry. I chose to sleep hungry even if it's noon. One evening the teaching was on rapture. Daktari Peter, Pastor Sam, Corporal Julius(These are their current title- I have hidden half identity) and other age mates sat down silently and in a pensive mood listenin

A cry for justice for the Tanzanian Maasai; a dire need for quick ACTION!

Very disturbing scenes; Desperate faces, hungry children, worried men and women are described by these pictures. The Tanzanian government through TANAPA has forced thousands of indigenous Tanzanian maasais out of their ancestral land, confiscated their livestock and burnt their homes.Information available to Kenyans and the world is scanty. Contact people in the ground are scared due to intimidation.However, the human rights violation on this people is loud,so apparent that silence is the least thing human rights groups and the Indigenous People organizations can do. The agreement that was signed in 1959 between the colonial government and the Maasai that saw the establishment of the Serengeti National Park clearly states that "the maasai will never face any possible eviction" why unleash such barbaric acts on a community known to be environment friendly,coexist harmonious and peacefully with wildlife over and above being a heritage envied the world over. Of importance to
