It is a pure delight for me to see the tilling
of the soil in preparation for the coming maize season in Zimbabwe. Every spare piece of land (near houses,
roads, schools, shops, fields etc) is being transformed into productive areas
to grow food. At first it
surprised me to see this happening through-out the city of Harare but now I
celebrate to see such good utilization of the available land to feed the people
who live here.
The long dry season is now coming to an end
(in Harare at least). The grass is
greening, the trees are covered in lush green leaves and the first maize crop
is steadily growing taller. After
each rainfall, insects fill the air and the children at MRCH race to catch all
that they can. If I am fortunate
enough, they cook the insects before they offer it to us to eat. They are delicious (if your mind can
relax enough to enjoy the taste).
It is such a privilege and joy to live
through and enjoy the different seasons of this country.
