Words from a Kenyan artist....
I sit here in my art studio trying to find a way to focus on my work. But instead, the chaos going on in my country Kenya leaves me deeply saddened and hopeless. And the situation gets worse. Never did I imagine that in my lifetime or ever - my home country would go through something like this. I was born and raised in a remote village in central Kenya. People here were from different tribes and had lived in peace with each other- until now.
I feel these words run so closely to my own heart lately...for both the country I love and my internal thoughts regarding my future....my own tribes and thoughts warring against each other....fighting for my mind and my future.
Reading a recent e-mail from the Daniels broke my heart....pulling me there again...my question has become lately not whether to commit for a 3-5 year time period or a lifetime???
The pic? Mt. Kenya. This is what you see from one of the schools at the Daniels.
