second day of new years



Since Okonkwo is gone, and so is Ekwefi, I have no fear of him.  There is only one problem: how do I entertain myself?  I might go to the wrestling competition, but Okonkwo might find a way to do something disastrous to me there.  I could go hunting, but I do that all the time since I have a lot of spare time.  I think I will stay home and think.  Think of the weather, think of life, think of harvest.  Yes!  Thinking is good!  Think of family...I think of them as dust; unapparent, but unique, small and distant compared to life now.  When someone does not remember his family, you can tell life is changing.  Big changes are going on, such as a rumor of albinos in this land.  I might ask Okonkwo when he comes home, or I could go to another village and ask around.  I hope Agbala does not hurt them too much.  It would be nice to see a white man for once.  There is very few changes happen around these parts.  The biggest change though, is me moving.  I miss my real father very little, but Okonkwo is my new father now, and I love him.  Also, I think he likes me but he is not showing it.  This is very manly and proper for a man like him.
