    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. The author 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, application of philosophy in village vernacular and also objects in changeless time and space.
    The author's intensely 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. Thinkers 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
