Are you going to set the sun?

"Unaenda kuzamisha jua?"
"Ndio."

"Are you going to set the sun?"
"Yes."

This is a common exchange between the guard here and me, as I leave the house to climb a giant boulder next door to watch the sun set. It's a favorite activity at this new location, a time to just be, to watch the birds fly in for the night, to pray, to lay on warm rock...

I love that he says it this way, instead of "Are you going to watch the sun set?"; no one else I've spoken to does.

If you want to see what I look like setting the sun, check out my Facebook timeline.
