Walls of Kamiti

On my way home I always see Kamiti Maximum Prison, with its walls so high and strong. I went to visit a friend the other day, and Kamiti taught me the value of freedom.

Behind the walls are men, whose eyes tell tales of a world you would not want to be in. I cannot help but stare at the men I try to smile but I give a broken smile. As I chat with my friend over barbed wire, with chains tied on him I am mad and sorry for him. Mad that advice given was taken for granted and sorry that he had to learn the hard way the value of freedom.

My friend tells me he might be behind the walls of Kamiti but I might also be creating my own walls of Kamiti. I agreed with him, many are times we create walls around ourselves, afraid to let the world see us for who we are, afraid of heartbreaks and afraid the someone might actually care enough to break down the walls.

As you boast with your so called freedom, try and bring down the walls of Kamiti that you have built so firmly. Let love break them down and let hope show the true freedom of life.

Happy New Year

Dear 2011,

Welcome to my life, hope you will treat me kind unlike 2010. 2010 had its fair share of troubles but I am past that now. I welcome you with a lot of hope and faith. Hope of good things to come and Faith that God will be walking with me through out the year

I welcome you to my humble home, don’t worry about the unfinished business of 2010. I plan to finish what I start and smile through the steps I make with you. I know it will not be easy stepping in the unknown but I trust in you I have a feeling you will not let me down.

I have not listed down any resolutions; I plan on taking each day as it comes. So far so good, feel at home and my prayer is that you will treat all my loved ones well and guide them back when they loose their way.

Welcome 2011…….

Love Liz
