How I arrived to teach at the American Embassy School in Delhi can be summed up by one small, but precious moment today at a staff training. As we entered the room, we found a long table with smooth rocks painted in calligraphy with words like "journey, patience, renewal" written in both English and Hindi. We were simply told to choose the rock that was right for us. Okay, you have probably seen similar rocks sold in kitchy stores. Later we were told that the rocks had been collected at the Ganges River and then a calligraphy artist who is connected to AES painted them individually. The rock I chose was "Gratitude". Shall I say more?
Something to add to your garden in Bellingham!
