The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to.

MOON; 29-08-2015 Full moon

Happy Full Moon!
The moon has waited for the evening stars to be seen with them. It is past seven-thirty and it is slowly moving from East. Unlike the position of the sun that quickly changes shadows in size, this moon has no worries to hurry wherever. 

It is yester night having been unsettled by bedbugs that a dream came. I was struggling to capture two satelites in the sky- the moon and the sun. The sun was setting and it wasn't very piercing. The moon was there too. But the rising from North East of the moon and the setting of the sun from the very place seemed unrealistic. It seemed a bad omen from the eyes that spoke from the huts. The camera could also not quickly capture for it was quickly setting.

Looking at it it has a soft outline like a baby's thigh. When I zoom in the camera there are traces of black and white matter on it. Scientists explored that moon is not as smooth as our ancestors may have referred to it. The reason as to why there is only one moon up there is yet unknown to me and how it religiously and climatically influence trends is another pandemonia.

The first cycle has ended with least rain clouds. I am not sure of the next cycle. If at any moment it happens to rain any day soon mom will say it was of setting off the moon. I am not sure whether the moon will get lost for a say or two so that its waning cycle starts but I am not hoping to see it tomorrow. Maybe a day after.

The fact that to this far we have been able to witness it each day in its different cycles and stages of growth may signify a certain kind of life in us. We grow to the fullest and let nature take its course. For the next two weeks we will be daily experience a fading moon that once was a giant. 

Though I look at the moon with increased lookingness sometimes I think to undersatnd it I need different eyes and body. How many of my wishes have found the very body that yearned and the reaction turned out aloof? If you took me to the moon please give me new eyes and body. I guess I just admire the luminary (a creation of a better future place) simply because I have not been given the chance to be there and all illusions will be canned.

And because the moon follow up session is but a diary on the blogspot, let me hint that it was an adventurous day of walking past roads that have intrinsic memories. I saw the place we rested with her and the road we led each other through. I remember the day. But the love that existed is no more there. It fade away. I woke up to a sickless day and the coming up of memories was a therapy to quick healing.

Happy full moon!
