Any person with a decent standard of living would shudder at our living conditions. In my early years I ran errands for all sorts of people in our area when I returned from school with the hope of tips. My clothes were always tattered and my shirts rarely had buttons.

Now that I've reached 39...well, OK, a bit on the other side of 39, I don't actually think I'm over the hill yet. Though I resigned myself to altering my diet with healthier foods and accepting the inevitable wrinkles and the accompanying graying hair, I had been going through phases of denial. I tuned out anyone touting the benefits of “aging gracefully.” Truth be told, I didn’t want to age gracefully. Hell, I just didn't want to age at all.

It demands high courtesy. You know, as you would be expected: you must deport yourself in propriety. When he comes up, prostrate at full length. Being gods like he gathers caprices behind; and could flare up at any time. BADEJA: I’m not sure I can comply with all these do's and don’ts.

The cedar trees creating a fence around the compound swayed lightly in the breeze, dancing as if happy, as if they had lungs that filled with this philtered air. The sky was an azure blue with fluffy white cumulus clouds floating past in cheery abandon.

It was the rhythm of Bolewa; he had noticed a playful pattern forming itself beneath the hum and sound of daily life. The mid afternoon sun was high up in the sky. At that time of the day, most of the schools let out for an hour thirty minutes break before reconvening for another two hours and finally letting off at four p.m. Even in the school, he had come to realize how in this town of his birth, there was a harmony of opposites...
