    About this ebook

    Thoughts on Granite is a compelling collection of encounters with wisdom and reflections on cryptic issues of this world and is based on the author's experiences-imaginary, real and surreal.He shares his words in prose form, etching them in the minds of those eager to learn his thoughts on African proverbs, philosophy,poetry , abstract thought, knowledge of body, mind and soul, applicatuon of philosophy in village vernacular, and also objects in changeless time and space.

    The author's personal insights provide a striking view into the mind of a man challenging destiny in his search for truth and wisdom in this earthly life. Thikers and seekers of truth- particularly those that wish to learn about African wisdom- will appreciate how he uses the works of popular early philosophers to explain African wisdom and philosophy and provides answers to questions about man's existence in the universe.
