January 14
We have been in Kenya for less than two weeks and we have
experienced so much already. I struggle to know how to describe the lifestyle.
It’s almost an oxymoron. It is simple,
yet difficult; refreshing, yet heart breaking. The beautiful singing of the THQ
choir (as good as any I have heard) with no accompaniment except their voices
reminds me that less is more. The site of hundreds and hundreds of shops and markets
lining the streets every day inspires me as innovative entrepreneurs make a
living with more basic means than I have ever seen. They sell their products
from before sun up ‘til after sun down every day in the dry, dusty side lines
of the main road hoping to achieve enough revenue to feed their families.
I have only yet caught a glimpse of life in
this land. I have so much to learn. I have a feeling my life will never be
the same.
“Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his
shoes.” (Cherokee proverb)
