They've been here,Kanamai, Kilifi for capacity building and training with one of the NGO's. He sat on the protective wall,that prevented the water from getting into the premises during high tides.  The sight of the tides breezed,the fresh air was a super relaxer,the whirling sound of the tidal waters from a far thrilled.The view was just magnificent even from the sky as sun went down.It's at such a moment he wished he wasn't alone,he wished for a gentle touch and a hold of someone by the hand,oooh it could have been the best hangout,quietly watching with no words .Indescribable.Too bad he was still alone and to some extent lonely watching all this.
