Kenyan Running Shoes
Huge Strangler Fig Tree, Sacred to the Maasai, in the Chyulu ForestMaasai are natural runners, it is a part of their culture and tradition as warriors, so it seemed very organic to have some of these new generation ‘eco-warriors’ come brave the NY streets for their community–Edward Norton
NOVEMBER 1, 2009, actor Edward Norton and three Maasai Warriors from Kenya, will lead a team of 30 runners in the New York City Marathon to raise awareness and funds for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust

Hi Elizabeth... Love your work, and your blog. Thanks for finding me in this vast sea in which we all now swim... blessings
ReplyDeletePS: the irony of me coming to your site today is that, just yesterday I finished a post I have been working on. Which I posted today with a photograph of Marian Anderson by Richard Avedon, which I found a few days ago... I mean how surreal is that! ...I can never imagine anyone ever being bored with life... it’s too amazing… I mean you just can't make this stuff up! Well I guess you could. But it would not be nearly as interesting...
ReplyDeletelooking forward to surfing through your blog more.
I want a pair of Kenyan running shoes! Or Tarahumajara running shoes or ???
