This Thailand trip was different. Reflecting on the differences I am aware of two changes. In the first place is the familiarity of teaching in Thailand five times, four times at Wat Klong and three years of living with the same family. In so many ways so familiar.
However, the big difference is my relationship with the students at Noble Academy. Their interest in my trip caused me to open my eyes. It made me look for things that are unique to SE Asia that I've begun to look past because of my familiarity with them. I tried to see through the eyes of Noble Students.
This was a
great gift to me. I think it is a truism that life is better, richer, deeper when we truly pay attention. So, there I was back in SE Asia, an area that I find endlessly fascinating, with responsibility to see on behalf of the students at Noble. This reality enriched my experience and made the whole trip and teaching experience more meaningful.
I'm really looking forward to my return to Noble tomorrow (Monday).
I have many pictures that have not been posted so I'll post some of them from time to time.
