Star gazing.....

         

I am in the wilderness right now under a clear sky watching the stars. It's s crescent moon today and all I hear around me is crickets and the distant laughter of a team having their retreat. There is a faint sound of lovemaking going on in the next the room, lucky them but I wouldn't want it to bother me much. The crescent moon has two stars forming a triangle with it. At first glance they look like stars but in reality I am looking at Jupiter and Venus. An article I read the other day told me that for the last few weeks and for another one week the two planets will seem to be extremely close from our perspective. Questions abound I believe, how is it that the second and fifth planet end up looking so close to each other well I'll probably answer that later. Well so what does this mean to me? Immediately I just think of what someone once told me, only parallel lines don't meet. When two individuals from different backgrounds cultures etc are meant to meet then they will but only if they are on different trajectories. It can actually be likened to a couple of straight guys, they run parallel and have similar intentions that can be termed as similar trajectories. A guy looking for a girl and a girl looking for a guy will cross paths at some point and if they are like Jupiter and Venus depending on the conditions they may collide or just pass each other and be on their merry way. I am saying this because I have met many people in the past few weeks who wonder when they will 'collide' with the one. Well believe me he/she is coming as fast as they can just as Venus moves at 126,077 Km/h and Jupiter moves at 47,051 km/h but they just met in our night skies and haven't met before in a very long time.

The Jupiter and Venus convergence as it is called is due to the fact that our planets revolve around the sun in more of flat plane like formation. For more info, check out news week on the link below.

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

How Much Is Enough? I think I figured it out.....................

I recently faced a situation that I have faced multiple times, getting vindicated for my integirty while those who chose a different path finding themselves on the wrong side. I have worked in the industry I am in for almost 16 years now and during that time I have seen colleagues get rich through dubious means. My time in this iindustryhas made me aware of ways in which this is possibe but I have always questioned on whether it is worth it. Guys getting kick backs or outright theft looks attractive in the moment but at the end of the day you always get caught and find yourself in a worse of position than before. We see the same thing in our politicians and even though theirs is the making oofa kleptocracy we always ask ourselves, How much is really enough? I think I may have found out how much in my perspective may be enough. KES. 300 MILLION Hear me out on this, if you were to have a windfall or accumulate wealth in a short time i personally believe that amount would serve my family ...

Love what you do

It's 9:00 pm on the last flight out of Jomo Kenyatta international airport to Moi international airport and I'm sipping a cold beer at 23,000 feet. The flip side is I have a cold and I have not had a good nights rest in a while. I am sleep deprived and pretty hungry so it's not all rosy up here. That however, isn't why I am writing this. I am writing this because of a totally different reason. I generally don't pay attention to the safety instructions at the beginning of the flight but this time I did . Why do you ask, because of the male flight attendant. Why would a male flight attendant make me concentrate, well it was late at night and he had probably flown back and forth a couple of times but he still entertained us. The guy got up on the P.A system and gave us an audio presentation worthy of a radio talk-show host. He introduced the captain, first officer and all the flight attendants like he was introducing his fellow band mates and it was refreshing.  I ha...
