Video Transcript

Footage of jiggers being removed from a woman's feet in Kenya. The soundtrack is not a narration of the procedure: after brief instructions to the patient, the presenter drifts into a long, rambling monologue about judging people's character — good words can hide 'snakes' and 'hyenas' — while the work continues.

Look up. Look up.

She has some few menacingly sitting jiggers.

They have to be chopped up.

My sister and friend Leslie G. was asking me to be offering a narration or to be giving my little, to be giving a story about Kenya in my little musings. And I will, I will belabel that issue as we continue on in the journey. But I should warn that I don't really plan about what I'll say. The things I say in my musings are very automatic. They are spontaneous. They come from their spirit. And so as the spirit leads the mouth speaker, because the Bible says in the abundance of the heart, does the mouth narrate.

And if the spirit lives in your heart, he will give you the utterance that is of the spirit from your heart. But if the spirit doesn't live in you, you can always utter a few nice things, but they are always cleverly thought out for a given end. Therefore they don't last. That's why even the worst person has their moments when they can really speak some good things. And if we really don't know them, we can think they are good. That is why we can understand and charge people as being good before we really know them, before we stay with them, give them time.

Because on a given day, somebody can wake up and feel sufficiently philanthropic with the words and just feel good and throw out some emotions. And if you're not very careful, you will think they are good people. And that is where you will fail the test and you will put them on your body oblivious of the fact that they are snakes. That is the biggest mistake we make where you engage with someone you really don't know. You later discover with a lot of frustration that they were actually lions or hyenas or snakes or frogs or caterpillars or was off.

Was, was, there was...
