Kayra Sillo is an achingly beautiful song from an album by the Kenyan Boys Choir that I am listening to while on the plane from London. I don’t know what the singers are saying, nor do I know even what they look like. The tune speaks to me nevertheless. The harmonies are controlled, weaving, and poignant. I have been blessed by this album as we travel to Kenya – to a people I have never met on a continent I have never seen.
After a brief lookup, I learned what I was blessed by: Kayra Sillo means "Way of Peace". After a tumultuous and difficult few years, a way of peace would be more than welcome. My suspicion is that this way of peace will not be through the absence of conflict, but probably through the presence of Spirit brought on by the Living God.
