...random pseudo-spiritualities and such...

today...i saw them pulling down some billboards..and you know how you just come and you find the new flashier billboard and you wonder ..when did they do that?..espescially the really big ones..And although Ive seen one being changed before.. it really struck me for some reason today...And fully aware its an inanimate object I felt sad for the old one for some reasons...thinking about what happens to it...its discarded...erased and replaced and unless you saw it happening- we dont even know when it happened and sometimes you dont even noticed it changed till days later...doesnt life breezes past fast?..Living in the village, everyone, Im sure, used to notice if Mama Nduku placed the rock on the other side of her hut door...?
I think this has something to do with watching 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman' last night....


Then the other day I was driving down James Gichuru and the jacaranda flowers were raining on the car...it was beautiful...In this concrete tarmac jungle of mats and cars and people rushing home etc..these jacaranda trees were still doing the nature thing..(in slow motion- it felt like ) and even though the flowers were going to be squashed by cars or wipered away in seconds..they looked pretty falling...and i started thinking about how in that moment I could see the see the cycle of life and feel natures breath into eternity no matter what we do to suffocate it
....Then a car hooted and i snapped out of my useless psuedo-bohemian moment...

And for the greatest lesson I learnt yesterday..

a lesson about Grace....

Nelson Mandela sent his condolences to P.W.Botha's family...???!...gathoz..!
