So much of our days are filled with new challenges.  Our old brains, already forgetful, are really shorting out these days as there is so much new information, challenges, and wonders to process.  Life is utterly fascinating, never boring.  But, there are the small everyday tasks we do here that soothe in their calming, arcane behaviours we thought we would share:

There is the morning washing of the blackboard rag at the tap outside the classroom before our English Class.

Texting…

feeding the poor sick dog that wanders our neighborhood,

Tally shining our shoes after our day of walking the dirt paths to and from our classes.

Feeding our neighbor, Iri Moto’s, chickens who calm and amuse us with their clucks and antics,

giving food to old Shamba who comes everyday in his heavy coat and bare feet,

then lastly our “cocktail hour” before we cook our dinner of beans and rice, do some work and usually turn into our beds around 9:00 to read before going to sleep.
