The rhythm Experience the Prowess and astuteness.

While traveling for work, a gentle but persistent rain followed us. The area hadnโ€™t seen a downpour in quite some time, and it sparked conversation among those in the car.

One comment, likening the rain to a never-ending quarrel of a woman, caught my attention and set my thoughts wandering. With my phone in hand, I captured the window seal crowded with raindrops, then opened my journal to shape the moment into a short poem.

Without further ado, my words-shared in picture form

When a new dawn sharpens its blade.

Moses Aliโ€™s oasis

Our entry into the chief town of Adjumani District coincided with a rain shower and a Jacobโ€™s Ladder breaking through the thunderstorm clouds.

The flat green plains summoned the fresh breeze from Moyo Mountains, extreme north, across the pale White Nile where the Laropi Ferry ebbs and flows.

The edges of the approach road was shaded by mango canopies, and bordered by aesthetically structured grass-thatched huts. My eyes were equally drawn to the picturesque cotton and sunflower fields tended by yellowโ€‘clad prisoners.

We were seen off by the sight of the Ugandan national bird - a domesticated graceful and elegant grey crowned crane supposedly one of three owned by politician Moses Ali.

Resuscitating culture!

One way of preserving culture is to document and disseminate its practices through various mediums. This facilitates access and availability for future generations and reference.

This week, I together with Muhumuza Joseph, Tristan Kabogozza and Titus Muhwezi, documented traditional customs, stories of a community in Butungama Village, Rwebisengo Town, Ntoroko District. This folklore including poems, traditional thematic songs for cows and women, among others, is passed through their generations by word of mouth.
