In the wisdom of an elder sitting and seeing further than the younger ones can while standing, the BBB duo have a chat with Mohamed Komeja. From Taita to Norway, Tingila to Tanzania, University of Nairobi to University of Oslo, Mohamed tenderly handles the questions from the hosts with as much clarity as his memory allows. Sharing lessons from thirty plus years in marriage; the chat also shines a light on gems from the power of literature, cross cultural experiences, cotton picking, building community and of course lessons from parenting. From conversations with God about mortality, journaling through cancer, to loneliness in a foreign land, this audio only episode highlights the power of mental fortitude and the spirit one has to have when being strong is the only option. The guest observes the present, revisits the past and sees the convergence of the two through ruracios, reflections and serendipitous reconnections with his people, his culture, his country and his gifts.   Episode Links and Notes Ruracio ceremony Norwegian Human Rights Institute About Norway On NORAD The 1982 Kenyan coup Health services in Norway among the best in the world 7 stages of processing cotton Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Desmond Tutu About PICHA – KBC cover
