.what if we dock?what if we learn to share symbols?what if this language evolves?

Beginning of this month, .daki. left the Mt. Kenyan base, snaked across two borders and found their way to the Zambezian banks. She had been told of a village holding women who were willing to learn the cadences of her language. With just enough to get her there, off they were. For the past few weeks, she has lain the tools of her language, shared it and it has been learnt. Now, she just about begins her way back, heart abrim.

.so,the golden strokes of dusk find me,sat upon this island,eyes the colour of the waters it banks.the language of dakinjji has begged to be shared,it has throbbed hard and times,its desire to express through hands beyond mine,has brought physical ache to my palms,to the hardened tips of my fingers.and here,where elephants drink and dance,where Love's Door holds open,holds gifts only divinity can define,this ancient language pours,a thick wrapping nectar,twining joy, will and determination,about the strands of thrumming, golden souls.

.nyaminyami.
Loch Ness of the Mosi-oa-Tunya.ancestors of the land knew her,sang to her,danced and swam with her.but,when they could no longer pronounce the new name of the thundering smoke,she was lost to them.in waters whose essence only she could annunciate.now,she will be seen only in the shy of a camera's blink.and if you call her by her true name,she may dance upon your skin under the tip,of the night's southern crux.

Meet Dan though.

This little boy gives palpitates my soul with his smile, curiosity and boldness.

He walked up to us during a class last evening and said he wanted to make himself a bracelet.
"and me, I want"

Ask and you shall receive.

He was so eager to make one he didn't even want to be shown how 😅.

When he was done I soften the ends for him and he wore it with pride, wire wrapped in every direction. It's my favourite piece so far. So I made him one.
He loved it so much so when I saw him today he only had the latter on. I wept a little.

If you'll allow a sista....
this here wooden walk leads to The island.human blood has been tasted by hippos on this island,bright fiery moons that walk on water have been spotted,almost captured,but, our palms were far too anxious.across the waters lions roar you to life before...sunlight grazes the tender skin of rousing bamboo shoots.and,soon after the sun begins their stride across the sky,there will be women,and curious little babes,learning the ancient wire craft of the dakinjji.
