The Power of Love

I had a very special summer. I traveled more than I ever had before and felt such strong love everywhere that I went. It was a reminder that we carry love with us wherever we go and that that love is powerful. In Tanzania, it was a contagious love of life. In Rwanda it meant a dedication to unity that would prevent genocide. In Boston and Philadelphia my spirit was renewed through the love I share with my friends. At Tranquil Space, through yoga, I connected to both a love of my body and to a love of all beings.  In Seattle I got to witness the lifelong commitment between my best friend and the love of her life. In Frostburg it was a renewed commitment to my faith and values. In Martha's Vineyard and New York it was the sustaining love of family. Whatever its shape, I aim to maintain this love in all I do this year. SR is an easy place to build on the summer's momentum because love is talked about openly and a major foundation to all that we do. I can't wait for another year of infusing love into my class and the social awareness and action we engage in at school!
