My friend asked me to lead a collage workshop with a teen girls’ group at a local Chicago Public High School yesterday. The open space we were to use was the school ROTC room, full of military posters, pictures of uniformed students on bulletin boards, and other things of that nature. We also had a little yoga session from an instructor in this space. At the end, she went up to the chalkboard to write out the word that is typically said at the end of yoga practice: Namaste.

How interesting to see that word scrawled in the middle of the ROTC room.
