Reflections

April 21
I have opened my arms wide and embraced this opportunity. I have shared my knowledge, my compassion and my encouragement.
I have received grace to renew and reignite my spirit. I have made friends. I have acquired memories to cherish.
I have learned so much about this culture, these gracious people; their unwavering faith, their day to day existence.
I have strengthened my spirituality. I have renewed my faith in education.
I have grounded myself in the present moment for that is what matters; that is where one has an effect.
I have seen the earth dry and burnt; that same earth thrusting renewed growth from its fruitful soil.
I have opened my arms wide and I am enriched for having done so.
