At least for now the scorching sun had to take a momentarily break and we welcome the season of the short rains.
Everything that breathes under the sky is filled with life, the magic of rain. It’s true when they say “water is life”.The green canopy will soon resurface and the earth’s crust will be restored, at least for now.
Where am from the silent valley will soon roar back to life, and the sounds of soaring river Chania will reverberate through the trout valley.
In perfect control of my life, Finished building my castles in the air, now searching for the elixir of life.
In our times this river brought fortunes and calamities in equal measures. The river would deliver huge chunks of trees from Aberdares mountains, at least the families that had lived along the river line didn’t have to worry about the firewood for a long time. The footbridges weren’t spared either, some students from the other side of the valley were disconnected from their learning institutions for as long as the rainy season spell would remain.
Our weekend swimming expeditions would be rendered futile and caution was raised against approaching the swollen river. It was not a wonder to find a carcass of a wild animal especially buffaloes deposited in your farmyard.
Let's join the world in calling for climate justice and climate reparations, they have damaged our livelihoods and habitats, we need them to seek climate Justice. We need our River back
