This is Not Goodbye...
Today has come and gone, this journey however is not over, it has just begun.
After the events of today a 'farewell' dinner was held where we could all come together and celebrate the strides that we have made thus far. Food was ate, speeches were given, many songs were sang, pictures were taken, and many happy tears were said. A bitter sweet rain fell as we exited towards the buses to return back to the hotel for our las CLG meeting. The room was silent as we walked in all knowing that this was the beginning to the end of this once in a life time, indescribable opportunity that few will have.
I could ramble on for pages about the people, places, stories, and lessons. Some of these you have already heard, some are yet to come. I would just like to take this time now to note a few thoughts as I begin to 'pack' my bag:
- the power of story is strong
- love is the most powerful tool that we have
- we shall overcome
- the torch is being past and we need to maintain/share aspects of these stories with every who asks and everyone we meet
- those who go through some of life's darkest times can overcome the obstacles in their way and be resilient
- it is our responsibility as humans to standup and take action against intolerance, antisemitism, racism, etc.
Please stay tuned as in the coming weeks all of the notes and pictures will come to be, I will provide more detail and insight into each individual place. Again, thank you for all of your love and support.
