The weather in Columbus is chilly this morning but, it was very warm yesterday. It fluctuates and even defies weather forecasts. The Somali men have made a proverb out of these sudden changes of weather in the USA. They looked for things with similar characteristics and gave the following description of their feelings:
While in America
Never trust
Three things:
Weather:
Whether you like or not
Every hour is different
Always accept the change
Tonight is warm
Hot is tomorrow
Extremely defferent
Rainy, sunny and cold!
Work:
Work is slow at times
Overtime can be required
Rely not on any job
Keep your schedules open
Women:
Wife can be dangerous
Or can be very precious
Mind your own business
Everyone’s ways change
None can ever be safe!
We have all-year weather in Somalia and we are not used to this kind of extreme cold and hot weather patterns. Personally, I have not run into any problems with wife and work so far. But I know that weather can change unexpectedly from one exreme condition to the other.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate you reveiws, encouragements and endearmennts. You all help me develop my writing skills.
I love the wisdom and humility in this. And appreciate the openness with which these views have been assimilated - and that from a different culture from across continents and races. It is a wonderful example of what it means to learn from each other, to learn from nature and to learn from our social and commercial orders in life. And the women... well, guess that's up for you men to decide! But it's interesting that in all cultures at all times, these three are absorbing features of the ways in which we shape our lives and thinking. Bless you and thank you. This was intriguing.

Man, going from Sausalito in California to the Scandinavian lands of Norway and Sweden taught me also three things, Weather (Crazy) Work (hard) Women (delicious)
You write well, keep it going.

It's great to read how others respond to our conditions here.
Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of Somalia's weather. I think
I like the four seasons best;-) Nice work Jibril!
Each of the three can change like the wind. Weather takes a little getting used to, but after a while it will be second hand. You have penned this one in such a sincere way.
Work, well sometimes it changes, sometimes you change. Women......no different than men, always changing their minds.......
And the weather is getting all the more unpredictable. Even in places used to one way, patterns are changing and the atmosphere in upheaval: as they say here in Texas, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute. :)
It doesn't matter where in the U.S. you travel
The water has been very unpredictable
This year In my hometown the day beguines
So beautiful and about 3to 4 ours later
We get severe warnings of thunderstorms and
Tornado warnings
Yes I do agreed with you and the other two
Work can be slow and it is very dangers at times!
Excellent message within this write
Love And Peace to you always

It probably doesn't matter where in the vast U.S. you travel, my friend, the weather can truly change quite abruptly in only a matter of minutes. As for the other two, I can only say, Best of Luck!

I have enjoyed the reading of "A somali man in America". Its contents and composition formed a wise message.
Keep posting, Poet.
Long healthy creative life.

As for work and women, you've got it spot on!
