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 />

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 />
