Falling into a fitful sleep after work, I shift uneasily on the couch. My unconscious mind is angry. In my dream, I am picking a fight with an aged woman who has stolen my nafsi. She is old and frail. She is a pain in the ass. I scream at her. Disturbed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel when I wake up.Africa is the cradle of humanity. Scratch your arm and you may see the darker layer. We all came from here or hereabouts. We were bound to end up back here sometime.The following day I work hard. That aged Lady is my kin. She’s still a pain in the ass though.M.P.S. Don’t worry; I just thought I try something different; and; don’t be afraid to scratch;Note:‘nafsi’ is the Swahili word for breath/self
