You took one less road traveled by, which has made all the difference in the situation you have just witnessed and experienced. I hope you're keeping a journal, like I said many times before, write a novel! You deserve it, what with the time and energy you're investing in the collective braintrust. Have faith in yourself as a writer. Try to remember, each day is a new day, new path, look for the best~ don't let things get you down... Focus on the positive and you'll enjoy your adventure far more. Have a safe journey! Amen to you, Allen!

I hope Kenyans will be able to resolve this situation and heal together as a nation. I lived briefly among the Luo out there in the tiny village of Ogongo so my thoughts often come back to my former students of Lambwe school. I hope they're doing alright those days.
