You don’t come back from new experiences the same 💭
Paul Harris wrote about this feeling in Peregrinations III, his account of traveling with his wife Jean to Central and South America in 1936:
“Were we the same Jean and Paul Harris who had left our home so brief a period of time in the past, or were we a new, broader visioned and wiser twain? We felt that we could truthfully say we were not the same and that we could never be the same again.”
🎂 On his birthday (19 April), we’re reminded: service starts with connection, and the willingness to see the world and each other differently.
