What a harmonious and respectful and affectionate environment! I was amazed by the kindness and dignity of these children. If I had to pick out one aspect of my visit that delighted and impressed me most, it was the atmosphere of calm attention. We’re told that attention spans are getting shorter and shorter – all the noise out there, all of the time, and all the junkiness – it’s so hard to make a quiet place for one’s self to live and unfold, and it was obvious that the children craved that opportunity and were wholly responsive to it.
