Since coming back from Kenya, many of my friends have asked me, “How was your trip? How was Kenya?”

“It was good,” I reply.

I mean where do I start? There is so much depth to that question that I cannot distill it into a simple sentence or two. Sure, the safari was amazing, the motorcycle tour riveting as we descended into the Rift Valley, and the visit to the school enlightening. But these surface-level activities are not what I’ll remember this trip by. It is the invisible soul-touching aspects that have captured my heart.
