Beautifully said. It reminds me of the time that I and a bunch of other North Americans sat with a Kenyan woman who worked with farmers in her home country. Someone asked her about how to fix the problems in her country, and she shook her head and said, with some exasperation, “Why do you North Americans always think you need to FIX things?” I’ve reflected on her question many times since then.

I’m glad I found your work. Whenever I find someone connected to Bayo, I know I’ve found a contemplative thinker whose work will likely resonate.

I read this in the quiet of the morning and was so moved my it. How did you know I needed to read it and know you?
