Thoughts for the Day

The photograph is a picture of a banner that was made by a class of grade six students at the GAP School about four years ago. It was presented to our school when the Principal was able to travel to Canada. I walk by it at least once a week in the Lower School hallway.

As I was looking at it today I was wondering what has become of the hands that made it. Have these children come closer to a dream of theirs or further away? Are they still at the GAP school? How has life changed for them or not?

My ride this morning at 5am was about directing myself to my dream and the contribution that I desire to make. The hands that made this banner are somewhere doing something...and it is all a good thing.

I am also reminded by this banner that the individuals who will be riding in this years Tour will be coming together to form a community for four months. During this time we will get to know each others in many ways and our hands will lend themselves to many tasks.

I truly believe that all who are on this ride are here for a reason. After all, we each have made the choices in our lives that have brought us toegther. When I think about the mathematical formula for this happening it makes me smile.
