Thank you, Erika. This is all eye-opening. Also, I’ll be thinking about these lines: “Since arriving in Kenya, I have learned that time is a construct of the wealthy. Start times and end times don't mean much when you don't have appointments, work, school, or clocks. There is only the grumbling of your stomach, sunrises, and sunsets. When there are start and end times, it is because they are dictated by the wealthy or by institutions. Living in the present is deeply embedded in Kenyan culture.”
Beautifully written and moving as read by a Christian in the United States.
