Poems about Volunteers and Volunteering
Namaste
I honor the place within you
Where the entire world resides
I honor the place within you
of hope, of light, of truth, of peace
I honor the place within you
Where when you are in that place within you
And I am in that place within me
There is only one of us...
Explanation for above verse:
I was selected by the Dooley Foundation to work with Nepalese natives in Kathmandu as a volunteer in 1972. I left Pan Am World Airlines as a flight attendant and took a 3 month leave. The Nepalese greeted each other every day with this beautiful greeting, which translated from Hindi into English as the above!
