When One Bike Breaks


As we approach Easter, a time when we focus on peace, love and a renewal of spirit, I can't help but reflect on my experience in Thailand. I mentioned to the Fordham students with whom I worked many times how I thought this photo embodied so much of my Thai experience - a simple sharing of the little one has, and with a smile! One student's bike breaks on the ride to an afternoon picnic, a piece of rope is found, and the friend with his bike that works pulls the other upward and onward. Community like this is such a treasure. May we all be inspired by such sharing and humbly seek to live it in our daily lives! God bless and Happy Easter!
