Indian: "The baby is not yet born, and yet you say that his nose is like his grandfather's."

I attended upon request to be photographer. I got roped into staying for the meal which was very amazing. My mind was a gyre of thoughts. These "youth" just yesterday were adolescents and I was there teacher. I appeased my mind with the thought that the youth leaders are closer my age BUT still older. In only a matter of time I perceived that I am older than some of them as well.

I should be studying the s.s. lesson to teach and here I am blogging. Oh well an easy lesson calls for lots of discussion. I better not be disappointed.
