Journey Toward Peace, through teaching & learning

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase; just take the first step."
                       ~M. L. King

This watercolor by my son Kent represents for me the infinite, hopeful iconic journey...the path where we place our first step in faith....and move forward in discovery.

One week ~ finally! ~ until my Peace Corps departure. One friend called this life-changing journey: "BOLD". So true. So daunting. So necessary. A time of learning. A time to trust. The world is small and connected, more than we can imagine. WE are the world....together.
