Enjoy.
Where I'm From
I am from flip flops, from Ovaltine and elephants.
I am from the house of windows overlooking the ocean waves and the cargo ships coming in out of the harbour.
I am from the hibiscus, the bougainvillea, mangoes, red mud, sandy beaches, ocean waves, heat and desert.
I am from wringer washing machines, line-dried clothes and running outside when a storm threatened to bring the laundry in.
I am from 5 times daily calls to prayer, rugby, boiled water and windmill produced electricity.
I am from the Equator where the length of the days and nights stays the same year round - where within the same country you can visit the ocean and be 7000 feet above sea level.
I am from lamp post Christmas trees and blond hair, from Bakers, Millers and Benefiels.
I am from perfectionism and poetry.
I am from a belief in Jesus Christ as my Savior and no other way to heaven.
I am from Somalia, Ireland, England and Germany, from mangoes, custard apples, chai and goat meat.
I am from the Dad from Canada who went to Africa as a single missionary to meet the Mom from America as one of the line of single women he had to meet - both following God's call to ministry.
I am from love, loss and love again.
