Live on Love

It's 6pm.

He wore a green short and an orange Netherlands jersey.Rambled from his room and headed to the beach.

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.

The thought of travelling back to Nairobi tonight sickened,he brushed it off.

'I need to vow with the waters of the life to lead,wished and will work for',a thought crossed.He punched his left palm with his right hand fist and affirmed several things about his life,'...so God help me,most importantly let your will be done',he concluded the affirmation and gently relaxed.He only thought of the most beautiful things in life & the people who smiled,talked courteously,had a nice heart,who never lied,who were apologetic,held no grudge,inspired others,loved their partners,...talk of all the lovely actions of people,he cherished them.

The lyrics of the song  'Mother how are you today' by Maywood,came to live of how a daughter wrote a letter to her mom.

Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter.
With me everything is ok.
Mother, how are you today?
Mother, don't worry, I'm fine.
Promise to see you this summer.
This time there will be no delay.
Mother, how are you today?

I found the man of my dreams.
Next time you will get to know him.
Many things happened while I was away.
Mother, how are you today?

He was only left guessing how the daughter must have been excited to get a man of his dreams.

Before long he remembered the Whisky Lullaby-Brad Paisley, Wrong Road Again-Crystal Gayle, Second Violin-Burgatell, Winner Takes It All-Abba….but this time the characters were complaining of Love gone sour, separation & divorces and they were expressing their bitterness.

The latter thoughts were distractive, he wished to dismiss them but he needed a solution of why love turns sour and concluded it’s because people overlook the basic  and forget the founding criteria and ‘checklist’ which is 1^st Corinthians 13.

It was getting dark, he wished to have stayed longer but the 'Oxygen' coach had already been ignited. What was ringing and wished people used the same tune of Devouted to You-Everly Brothers, Vows Go Unbroken-Kenny Rodgers and Forever & Ever-Randy Travis.

‘What am I thinking, it’s early for me to harbor love thoughts, life is big and there are other things to think about other than the lovey doveys’, he paused.

‘If you get wrong on this, the ‘bigness’ of life becomes titchy, you've to get it right from the word go, otherwise one will experience hell on earth with the wrong person, your entire life’,a thought warned.

He smiled and waved goodbye to the ocean and whispered to it,'Some day I’ll come again, but I won’t be alone then.Cheerio'.
