This morning, our one and a half year old daughter, Naserian, had an inadvertent message for the Kenyan people. I came from the bathroom to find her screaming in terror as she was trying to slide down to the floor from our bed and was holding onto the blanket as for dear life. What she did not know was that her little feet were dangling just two inches above the floor. If only she had had a little more faith to slide further down to freedom.
This is where we are as Kenyans.
We are so close to finally stepping on the solid ground of freedom and justice and walking along the path of unity and dignity, but many of us do not yet know it. So we are screaming in terror, calling each other names, and holding onto the the filthy rag of our painful yesterdays.
But I am here to tell you this morning that I have seen our collective future and it is bright with promise. If only we could but summon up the courage to push together until that future is finally born.
Change is coming.
