A long time ago a very young mother
Named Kisa Gotami gave birth to a son—
A child who was the light of her life.
The mother’s love was second to none.
 
Not long after her son was born,
The poor child grew sick and died.
“Who can bring my son back to life?
Have pity!” Kisa Gotami cried.
 
The villagers knew that there was nothing
They could do to help and suggested
That she seek out the help of the Buddha.
“He can do wonders,” they attested.
 
She found the Buddha and beseeched his help.
“My only son has died,” she wailed.
“Can you bring him back to life.
Everything I have tried has failed.”
 
The Buddha calmly said, “I will help you.”
The poor woman waited with bated breath.
“But first you must find for me
A family that’s never been touched by death.
 
“When you finally encounter that home,
Tell the family there’s something you need—
Just one thing to take to the Buddha—
And that’s a single mustard seed.”
 
With great excitement the mother ran
From house to house—to every abode.
But death had visited every family.
On her face, great disappointment showed.
 
After a long, unsuccessful search,
The young mother came to realize
That everything born had to die;
Everything had to have its demise.
 
She understood the law of impermanence
And that her suffering was not unique.
She now saw life from a new perspective;
Her eyes were open, so to speak.
 
Kisa Gotami returned to the Buddha
And started to follow his teachings--the Way,
Or Path to Enlightenment,
Which still guides many seekers today.

mila sedi na wc solji. prebira dlacice po brezuljku. nekako odvratno ali radoznalo trazi one pod zemljom
gusto groblje-guste misli:

dve prodavacice prodaju sok od sargarepe, na smenu- jedan dan jednoj plati jednu cenu drugi dan drugoj drugu. cuti. zakopa to u zeludac. guta vazduh namazan budalom. cuti. plati.  popije samar i sok.
na ulici razmazano oker govno, kao kanapei na srebrnom tanjiru.  
preskace, obilazi ga ona. preskace, obilazi ga i pas. kisa pada, oker krem gubi gustinu, pas nece pod kisobran juri senke i zapisava skupocene alo tepsije onih kojih se i pauk plasi.
zanoktica o vrh narandzastog jezika- rekapitulacija popisanosti i pogresno usmerene finoce. krv stedljivo iz nokta curi natapajuci nepce a mrmlja da sledeci put ce...
ali verovatno nece. jer ne razume tu gadnu nepravicnost. jer to je samo princip. mozda i hoce. jer princip je i sve.
dopire krik playback narodnjaka- komsija stigao sa posla, investitor umesto izloacije sigurno je kupio dzipa.
masina se centrifugom lansira u orbitu svake sekunde- privezala bi se za nju toaltet papirom....

aman, idi uci.
bolje ces se osecati.
kraj prozora cuje se ono dete sto svira trubu.
makar jos ne moras da trazis posao. eto imas vremena da smislis sta zelis da budes.
na kraju krajeva nemas urasle dlake. i da, auto ti je parkiran divlje pokupice ga pauk sigurno. i nemas dozvolu. kese za govna su u gepeku.
trebas psa izvesti.
sutra kupices sok od sargarepe, po ne zna se kojoj ceni.

rekla bi imas princip a i lenja si.

Walking in the rain,
Trenched to my bones.
Barren as that day.
The day you left me.

Drowning in my tears,
With our house, no longer my home.
Blank as that day.
The day you left me.

You were the paintbrush to my canvas,
The light in the dark,
So, as I walk in this tearful rain.
I wonder if you are also in pain.
The day I laid with another.

Wish I could soak up this mess.
Guess I was the one who left you to drown,
In this tearful rain.
Barren as that day.
I cheated on you.

Drowning in your tears,
With a house, empty as your heart.
Stained as that day.
The day I betrayed you.

Una kang makita ang puso  ko'y mayroong ibang naramdaman.
Naramdaman kung tumibok muli ang puso kong ito sa isang taong Hindi ko lubusang Kilala. Hindi ko aakalain tatamaan sayo dahil isa ako sa mga taong Hindi naniniwala sa " love at first sight " Ngunit ng Ika'y nasisilayan sa pang araw-araw hindi ko namalayang nahuhulog na pala sayo ng lubusan sa mga Matatamis **** ngiti sa maaliwalas **** mukha di nakakapag takang nabihag mo ang puso ko. Unay nahihiyang lumapit sayo nakuntento sa palihim na pag sulyap .Hanggang sa nag ka lakas ng loob na ika'y kausapin at doon na nga nag umpisa sa wakas ikaw at ako'y mag kaibigan na  lalo akong Humanga sa taglay **** kabaitan kaya't di napigilan sabihin sayo ang aking nararamdaman Labis ang kaba sa pagkat ako'y natatakot  aminin sayo ang aking pagtingin sapagkat baka ako'y iyong iwasan. Pero nanaig pa din ang kagustohang aminin sayo ang nararamdaman Ika nga "Mas mabuti ng sinubukan kisa sa hindi "  Salamat at dika lumayo salamat at di ka nag bago salamat sa mga panahong masaya ako kausap ka  sa mga biruang halos umiyak na sa kakatawa itong mga ala-alang binuo nating dalawa akin  dadalhin  salamat hanggang sa muli nating pag kikita Mahal kong kaibigan.

Chemutai The Gold Peruth

You have conquered Tokyo and left Japan naked
With just two feet, you went and soon conquered 3000m steeplechase.
Many could have done it but you did it in just 9 nine mins with just 2 feet and a faithful heart beat.

Uganda got proud as your smile of sweat saw the Nations Anthem play in Japan. The battle so hard for 2 years you persisted, right from Tokyo 2020 you stood and Tokyo 2021 you have brought minerals to our country. For what others use blood you decided to sweat for a difference to be made.

If other robbing countrymen could bring in gold, silver and bronze than looting her borrowed resources.........I will come back to them.

It’s true the sun rises from the East, and so you rose with it. May our roads bare your name and those of others heroes Cheptegei and Kiplimo plus Kisa and may your names have the weight of victory beyond the sight of people and the speech of praise to the hearts of appreciation towards your efforts for the better glory of Oh Uganda.

Let the the chemutai generation begin.

upoznala sam na moru sestru, dalju sestru, cerka od tetkinog brata od ujaka. Starija je godinu dana od tebe ima dva sina i  kad smo se upoznale  nisam ni znala da smo rodjake jer sam ja pogresno shvatila tetku da idemo da posetimo neku njenu drugaricu zapravo od dalje sestre majku. Da se nismo cule nakon sto sam stigla u bg gde je ona spomenula kako joj je drago da je upoznala rodjake ja na bih ni znala, a imam dosta brace i sestara koje ne poznajem i ko zna da li cu ih ikada upoznati.

Inace juce mi pise kako je kisa i jugo, ali je jos uvek toplo i kaze dodji na duze sledeci put. Ja kazem volela bih na regatu sledece godine, kaze ona evo ima sad za koju nedelju, dodji! Kroz misli mi prodje, mozda pobeda ipak moze biti moja :P
