This is just a small series to let you know that we're still here. Our time in Coimbatore has come to an end but our travel component is just beginning. These next couple posts are quotes about India that allow you to question some of the things that our own students are continually being challenged by. Enjoy, friends!

“In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where
everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being
more and more active to generate results. In the East -- especially in India --
I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a
banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably
call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening
wihtout a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The
success of love is in the loving -- it is not in the result of loving. ”
-Mother Teresa, A Simple Path
