The instructor
was late for the course. In fact, the 20 or so
students who were standing around in the large
spacious classroom had been waiting for almost 30
minutes. One would have thought that these adults who
had come from all over the country and had paid
nearly a thousand dollars, by the time incidentals
were added in, would have been grumbling at having
been kept waiting. But the classroom was at peace.
The students seemed to be willing to wait for as long
as it would take.
