PEOPLE SACRIFICE THE PRESENT FOR THE FUTURE. BUT LIFE IS AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE PRESENT. ~~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Increase peace(see peacecorps.gov)...a simple thought, but oh, so difficult to begin to achieve in this world. Anticipation: with just 26 days until our Peace Corps Jamaica Group #82 (32 of us, several over 50!) departs for training, every moment seems full of hope, fear, excitement, elation, wonder....and organizing, packing and re-packing, buying, giving away, reading & writing, studying more & more...yet it will never be enough. We are told: be open, no expectations, relax, come to learn and to help, be ready to be challenged in unforeseen ways, just BE. Be Present.
Here we go! here we are! Our lives, and all we know, will be changed for the better...we hope.
in peace, be well ~ Susan/Mom
