‘When the rain subsides, black pepper, aidan fruit and vanilla warm up the earth with the sun. Aromas of coffee, vetiver and leather stir with thiouraye (churai) incense over formations of stone. The ancient keeper of lore secretly adorns itself with bark and leaves, its presence seen only by the vultures circling the skies above.’ – Maya Njie
