Throughout the past few days, I could feel the impact of the connections each of us built with students. My favorite part of this week was sitting and listening with a group of students and their teacher as they problem-solved a conflict in their community. My heart swelled as I witnessed the collective capacity of these young people to find solutions within themselves. Watching them courageously share their own perspectives and experiencing with them the positive synergy of the group reaffirmed my belief that ours is sacred work. For me, in that moment, my "deep gladness met with the world's deep need."
