The following quote from Rumi seems at apt way to say "Au revoir and Bonsoir" as the Haiti exploratory group returns home to share our experiences, reflections, and learnings with you...

"If God said,

'Rumi, pay homage to everything

that has helped you

enter my

arms,'

there would not be one experience of my life,

not one thought, not one feeling,

not any act, I

would not

bow

to."
