how i long to be quiet
to step away from the noise
from the constant conversation of who’s doing what,
of who’s going where
and what are we to do next.
it’s a continuous movement,
endless seeking for an end not in sight.
i would much rather a few minutes of solitude in an empty room
than hours in paradise with constant talking.
the stillness is the journey,
the path towards something rich and infinite.
never did i think this would satisfy such longing,
but the quiet,
the slowness of breath
and opening of the hands,
the surrender
is my greatest joy.

After living in Kenya for a year, Zane’s life was changed as he recognized that our lives are inextricably tied to God and one another. Ubuntu’s core value is to create opportunities that empower each other to lift ourselves beyond our perceived limitations.
