This world of puzzles is actually puzzling me<br />

Isaac Cheruiyot,<br />

Seoul, <strong>Korea</strong><br />

Speaking of puzzles,<br />

puzzles my heart in this<br />

puzzled world full of<br />

puzzles: puzzled world,<br />

word puzzle, super<br />

puzzle, just to mention<br />

the least.<br />

Although the basis of<br />

a ‘puzzle a day maybe<br />

less of a puzzle than a<br />

puzzle, I declare it is<br />

easier said than done.<br />

From the same<br />

premise, the origin<br />

of a puzzled world is a riddle to be puzzled in<br />

itself but am skeptical due to the fear of having<br />

the whole puzzle, puzzle my perception about<br />

puzzles; hard to piece together but not as<br />

puzzling as a puzzle of multiple puzzle count,<br />

unlike the previous puzzle, puzzled by puzzling<br />

me, my sweet puzzle, my puzzling name<br />

sake and his double puzzle: it took a puzzling<br />

six hours to puzzle the puzzle by the puzzled<br />

quartet!<br />

Although my puzzle hinted that it will take<br />

a life time to puzzle this puzzle am putting<br />

down, I choose not to take that line of puzzling<br />

but accept her puzzling as one puzzle missing<br />

and puzzling as it might have been finding it,<br />

has been found anyway! That beside the point,<br />

puzzling the puzzled world is like mining in<br />

the jungle, so dangerous a puzzle but relatively<br />

practical in some puzzling parts of our planet<br />

where mining sites have turned out to be<br />

puzzling death traps, short of basic necessities.<br />

Jamuhuri<br />

Day<br />

Such a puzzle is as the case in point, the latest<br />

incident in Oyugi (NTV, 13th October <strong>2011</strong>),<br />

where three gold miners were in one such<br />

puzzle not to mention a similar case in Migori<br />

two weeks earlier. It is puzzling to imagine<br />

a miner doing his puzzle with bare hands less<br />

the bare minimum protective gear in the search<br />

for the big puzzle, into the hungry bottomless<br />

dungeons. That’s a puzzle!<br />

From my previous puzzle, I had brought into<br />

the limelight a puzzle; the Migingo Island, our<br />

lost puzzle in the middle of nowhere, but tiny as<br />

it may seem, it’s a puzzle necessary to make a<br />

complete whole.<br />

On a lighter note, from a puzzling talk I<br />

overheard and also borrowing from Herman<br />

Cain, a GOP presidential hopeful, is the<br />

puzzle to erect an electric fence as a measure<br />

to curb border security, terrorism and illegal<br />

immigration puzzle. Cain’s description of the<br />

fence is going to be 20 feet high. It’s going to<br />

have barbed wire on the top. It’s going to be<br />

electrified. And there’s going to be a sign on the<br />

other side saying, ‘It will kill you – Warning!’,<br />

(Huff Post Politics, October 19, <strong>2011</strong>; the<br />

internet newspaper: news blog community)<br />

However it is gallant to applaud the government<br />

for the effort it has so far exerted towards<br />

curbing the Alshabaab menace through the<br />

“Linda Nchi initiative “as widely covered by the<br />

puzzle, the fourth estate.<br />

Through the KCK, I do hereby extend my<br />

congratulations to the <strong>Kenya</strong> defense Force<br />

(KDF), the African Union, African Union<br />

Mission in Somalia ( AMISON), IGAD, the<br />

KCK members join the <strong>Kenya</strong> Embassy in Seoul for Jamuhuri<br />

Day celebrations on December 15, <strong>2011</strong>. The event took place at<br />

the Lotte Hotel and it was attended by diplomats, government<br />

representatives, businessmen among other invited guests.<br />

Jamuhuri is an annual <strong>Kenya</strong>n national holiday.<br />

United Nations Security Council, Transitional<br />

Federal Government ( TFG)the east African<br />

Community, the Arab League, The Red Cross,<br />

patriotic <strong>Kenya</strong>ns and all allies who have agreed<br />

to be part of the puzzle.<br />

It is that time of the year, where the puzzle<br />

takes a new direction, where we all focus on<br />

the festive season from different perspective.<br />

However, the Holy Book asserts the need to<br />

celebrate the birth of one great Christmas<br />

man, Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of<br />

Abraham, the first born of the Virgin Mary who<br />

had just been betrothed to Joseph, before they<br />

came together!<br />

The puzzle surrounding the birth of Jesus<br />

calls for all of us to reconsider the significance<br />

of His birth. Two thousand years back, ancient<br />

prophecies foretold of His birth: that He will be<br />

called Immanuel” (which means, God with us).<br />

He was born of a virgin, from the Holy Spirit.<br />

Unlike the other babies, he was born in a manger<br />

in Bethlehem of Judea, he was visited by the<br />

angels, shepherds and the Magi from the east<br />

who saw the star from the east and had come to<br />

worship him presenting the baby with gifts of<br />

Gold, incense and myrrh. On the contrary,<br />

He had to seek asylum in Egypt to escape the<br />

wrath of the puzzled King Herod. That’s the<br />

story behind the season, hoping that one and<br />

all align our season’s puzzles accordingly. I<br />

wish my beautiful loving puzzle, everyone and<br />

everybody else a merry Christmas and a happy<br />

new year full of puzzles of blossom.<br />
