Savoring the Snapshots

As we near the end of our time in Jamaica, we individually reflect on our own special moments had within the larger group experience. Thirteen relative strangers coming together with the common goal of participating in something larger than any one of us, though in giving we recognize the gifts we are simultaneously receiving. The emphasis this week has been on staying present in the moment and savoring the experiences as they come. While the moments are many, we have decided to each choose one picture to represent the snapshot that is most salient in our minds, the moment that we will bring back to our busy (and much colder) New York City lives.
