A Village and Her People...



Open my hut

Open the door

Open the bar

Open your destiny



Lay down your head

Lay down quietly

Look for your forefathers

Look, seek you shall find



Though I strangled you in the dead of the night

Though I did not let you breath

I have chosen to let you go

I have chosen to give you your freedom celebration



Nine times you shall go round

Nine times you shall break their yolk

Nine times you shall look to the hill

Nine times you shall open the door



What door my child?

What hope my child?

What love my child?

What next my child?



Beautiful beginnings I hold

Beautiful plentiful seeds

Beautiful land to sow

Beautiful yields my dear



I know your story

I know your land

I know your story

I know your end



Get the waters of the lake

Get the coffee from the land

Get the seeds

Get them all as a covering



Where it is green

Where you hold your pot

Where you only see the desert plants

Where you only see the gatekeepers





Let go

Let go

Let go

Let go



No looking back

He that heareth the tale

No looking back

A past of a people settled



What I owe you is love

What I owe you is settled

What I owe you is done



The village and her people are settled

My hands are washed

Your hands are washed

You go your way

You are now blessed

J C Leroux Wine Tasting : A Delight!

Good events are a rare case in Nairobi, not to forget a good drink. Willam Soklin, a  New York wine merchant once said, " What is  the definition of good wine? It should start  and  end with a smile." True to that saying, the wine was plenty and delightful at the J C Leroux wine tasting held at Alliance Francaise yesterday, 10th May,2012. The  wine tasting  courtesy  of J C Leroux  Sparkling Wine  from Distell Winemasters opened the 21st  European Film Festival at Alliance Francaise with participating countries including: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Serbia & Switzerland.   Below are  the sights and sounds of  the crowd and the wine, J C Leroux in sweet and dry variants that  paired up with the all sorts of cheeses and made the cocktail worth the while.

It Has Been A Long While...

I do like my blog! However, I must confess, I abandoned it for a long while. So, maybe I can turn a new leaf and go back to writing? Hmm... Well, I will give it a shot. There is a whole lot to talk about, so let us get to it, shall we? " Don't Just Sit There. Do Something!" You see, I like to see businesses and people thrive. Their pain becomes my pain; their hurdles mine too. If it weren't so, why would I wake up aspiring for that morning sunshine, driven by their ambitions, teamed up with a necessity for the great pursuit. For whom; for what? Is it to be up held by the gentle relief, an ounce of 'better.' In wrapping these meandering good yet defined thoughts, I have come to the dear conclusions to roll-up sleeves of my own and all those who will and get involved. "Don't just sit there. Do something." I am reminded of that common wall paper that sits pretty in the washroom that were. If you will, manners and duty awaits.

Amazing
