"The only true law is that which leads to freedom," Jonathan said. "There is no other." - Jonathan Livingstone Seagull , by Richard Bach

So I've been thinking of some ideas that could become spin-offs from Vijana FM . Two such ideas that have consistently been on my mind: 1. A database for unpublished academic working papers, similar to JSTOR , but free to use and contribute to, and targetted towards East African scholars. 2. An open-source curriculum for entrepreneurship education, customized for primary, secondary and tertiary levels, and further developed by respective interest groups. Just had to throw that out there. Still contemplating, but getting the feeling I'm running out of time. Drop me a line if you're willing to help [once again, his pleas on his blog echo against the depths of virtual alleyways created over 4 somewhat quiet years]; I might be doing work on this very very soon.

This has probably been true for about 40 years now, but there is a lot going on in Tanzania, both in the public policy realm and in the private markets. For at least the last 4 years I have been poising myself to return and start something new, something fresh, that I could someday call a project of my own. But it seems every time I am "about" to begin something, it requires a process that leads up to another kind of beginning. It feels like I'm on a football pitch, and no matter how fast I run towards the opposing team's goal, it seems to get further. Perhaps the journey isn't about a start and a finish. I need to learn to appreciate that the process is a start and a finish, an ignition and the flame, a push and a pull in and of itself. It is all one, and we are right in the thick of it. So what better time than now, right?
