Disregard at will

Nairobi, December 3 2008
Note that Ngwatilo’s eyebrows/eye area are the hallmark of her face. The thing she could brand for its uniqueness…
whatever, I’m a special human being.
I had the brows tweezed today (threading still sounded grossly painful.)
It wasn’t so bad, i guess. but I’m suffering separation anxiety. They were one of a kind, resolute, headstrong; – they had an identity, they lived each day with purpose, and they could not be told no by any man or woman with itchy thumbs. It seems I lived vicariously through my eyebrows. Perhaps now with their passing I shall have no choice but to live the life they have…
I shall not stick up a header with the new ones or anything. just wanted to acknowledge a milestone, a loss, a renewal; as I’ve been doing lately.
