"He'd become wary of hunting the waddan, and would never venture to the majestic heights until he'd recited all the Quranic verses he'd memorized, repeated, in Hausa, all the spells of the African magicians, then hung around his neck all the snakeskin amulets he'd bought from soothsayers traveling in caravans." (23-4)

The mountains you have posted on this blog are incredible. Have you been there? I wish that at some point in my life I can muster up the time and energy to travel and explore the mountains....Maybe that's where you found your positive outlook on EVERYTHING!
