The Mission

I discovered this beautiful piece by Ennio Morricone today from the movie The Mission. Earlier I met with one of my international students to do some English practice. She shared that she had been talking with one of my colleagues. When asked she shared that she related to me as a teacher and as a friend, then a pause and she said as a mother. I smiled because I knew as father was impossible. Other's in the past have said grandma etc.

When my 'ma' passed away years ago I decided that her caring nature and values for neighbours and strangers was something I really wanted incarnate. Perhaps that is my mission.
