lion king

i had such a glorious african moment a few weeks ago...

i was sitting in masi with a friend when my phone rang (of course my ringtone is"circle of life" from the lion king). much to my surprise my friend, vovo, began translating the song...IT IS IN XHOSA/ZULU, the very language i am learning here! lets just say i was FREAKING out. we decided we must watch it asap.

that friday vovo & i, with two of our zimbabwean friends, gathered in a room in masi and watched the lion king. so much was rising up in my heart as i sat with these beautiful african people that have become dear friends to me, watching this movie that stirred in my heart as a child an intrigue to know the vibrant continent of africa. glorious.



i love africa.
