"May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the Love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love."
-Mother Teresa

Namaste, friends and family! Karen and Andrew checking in here from Portland as we are on the final countdown till blast off to San Francisco and... India! What an incredible opportunity to explore, dream and discover in this incredible land. To experience and to be present. Radical indeed...

This lil' blog here will serve as a cyber-yodel or smoke signal if you will, to all our loved ones in the coming months as we are traveling throughout India. In a matter of days, you, the students will take the reigns and be posting stories, poems, tall tales, photos and more from our adventure, to share with friends and family back home to see and read. We encourage you to look over the previous semester's blogs from the past months and to look forward to the stories that our own journey will bring forth. Both of us, Karen and Andrew, are truly humbled to share with you in this amazing experience. Enjoy time with the people you love and here's to the magic that awaits!!

Shanti bahar (peace out in Hindi)...

Karen Rosenbloom and Andrew Bruck
