C.S. Lewis...

on orientation into a new culture:

"When facing the pernicious tendency to compare and prefer- surrender totally. Shut your mouth. Open your eyes and ears. Take in what is there and give no thought to what might have been there or what is somewhere else."

Another (unknown) wise man once said, " God gave us two eyes, two ears and one mouth; maybe He was trying to tell us something."
Em, we're praying for you and waiting to hear about your great adventures.
