IMAGINE ME

Imagine me being always honest about my thoughts!! Imagine me telling the truth, past, present and even in future!!! Just imagine me being human and accepting that I have limitations and seeking supernatural powers to defeat the limitations!!!! Who sir, me sir, not me sir but who? Imagine me owning my mistakes and not blaming someone else!!! Imagine!!! Just imagine me.

I wish to tell the story of Nikita whose second name is as beautiful, not adhiambo or atieno but another beautiful name from an area around lake Victoria, where her roots are traceable to. I've always had a thing for girls from that side of Kenya and as was in my high school days, Ruth was an obsession of equal magnitude for me. My alma mater is Eastleigh high school, a day school in Nairobi and while our family lived in Huruma, I had to commute to school and back custom as it were on a daily basis for four highschool years. A mention of those days well up in me very fond memories of the exciting days they were. Talk of the KBS buses that boys would board and followed a then perfected script of dodging bus conductors to avoid paying fare or the Manyangas (Matatus) of those days, beautifully decorated Matatus, Kenya's mini buses including Eliza Kid and 680, the two favorite Matatus for the boys of our time. It was a daily cup full of fun for the four highschool years. But now there was Ruth. So beautiful. I would cross fingers yearning to meet her daily on our way to school and every moment we met drove emotions of mortal desires through me in a sweet but very defeating way. I grew in love with the Luo people since then and learnt a lot of Luo language and 'alot' in the beautiful language means sukuma wiki or collard greens just in case you want to learn Luo language, which I consider the most rich, artistic and interesting of the many languages of Kenya. Ruth was by then a Student at Ngara Girls High school. Back to Nikita. Her face is so cute, white properly placed teeth accentuated with every smile she makes. She is tall, just an inch or two shorter than me. Her gait is the pattern of the warm breeze falling on beautiful flowers in spring. Her front and backside, very well endowed, like are girls from the lakeside, the work of a perfect workmanship that God is. Nikita is honestly a temptation I have to defeat everyday but Just imagine of us relaxing, our sunglasses on facing the clear skies sipping our drinks on the shores of indian ocean in a lovely Beach of Malindi Kenya...... Imagine us together on a weekend getaway in an expensive hotel in Naivasha Kenya. Guess what, I dare to make one of this plans real if life continues to be boring like sometimes it has the tendency to get. I know Nikita would love it too because I can already see it allover her eyes, the girl loves me too. The girl is single and selfishly, I hope she remains so a little longer. But wait a minute, by the way am a happily Married man and there are Kids between us. But that's all there is to it and there is no need to bore you with my less than interesting marriage stories.

I've always heard that a problem half spoken is half solved. What of a problem fully spoken? Imagine me going to God and undressing myself, my thoughts bare, body prostrate to the ground or upright to the heavens and telling God of my temptations and limitations and asking him to help me to defeat and overcome them!!! Imagine me, not pretending that all is well and not telling people lies or so, putting on a fake smile and acting holy while I hide my sinful acts against a facade of fake righteousness!!! Imagine me!! Imagine me!!! Just imagine me being blunt honest with myself, with humans and with God!!! Many times am a pretender and not honest but God keeps reminding me in his holy scriptures that, 'You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. Psalm 51:16-17. Imagine me!! Being a human with limitations, honestly and openly owning Up to them regardless as to whether I am dealing with fellow Humans or God himself. Just Imagine me!!! Just Imagine you, Just Imagine we. . ..just Imagine us. Just Imagine.
