A Question Deferred

What happens to a question deferred?

Almost five years ago, in 2003, a lecturer of mine and a good mentor asked me a question which went like:

We used to love watching the stars during our days in college, do you guys still watch the stars?

At this time I was a second year with my dreadlocks flowing, my ideas forming and my ways showing. Mr. t.m Mboya was one of my most trusted lecturers and a poet I still greatly admire.

I cant believe that being a poet, I had never understood what the question meant until yesterday when in my muse in tranquil, I finally had the opportunity to sit in the open field for hours on end into the night. As I looked at the stars, the five year old question popped up from nowhere! Being in the state I was, I finally understood what it means to watch the stars.

Yes sir, I do watch the stars!

I never knew I would blog about Obama Mania on this forum until...

Am walking down Uhuru Highway next to the Inter Continental, guilty of visiting Afrika to conteplate Obama's win, redder than red! From nowhere, deafening sounds awaken me from my reverie and for the first time in my life, I witness live fireworks, beautiful fireworks, Obama fireworks!

Congratulations Barrack Obama.
