Today I ate some mangoes. Today I watched the red sun rise.
Today I made peanut butter stew. Today I got stung by a (tiny) scorpion. Today
I finished a book; The Thing Around Your Neck, and it made me nostalgic
for many things, not all of them good or happy. Today I thanked fourth graders
for carrying rocks. Today I bought meat and fresh bread and okra and bananas
that tasted a bit like cloves. Today I borrowed a wheelbarrow. Today I smashed
many rocks with a sledgehammer. I got so sweaty my pants were wet. Today I took
antibiotics and a malaria prophylaxis. Today I explained the difference between
calculating mechanical power and electrical power. Today I yelled at a girl for
headbutting a boy with her headscarf. Today I picked eggplant in our garden. Today
I ate some of some more mangoes and some goats ate the rest. Today I tried to
guess which vegetable was which while I ate my dinner in the dark outside.
Today I saw the new moon.
