It makes me more convinced than ever that the innocent and young at heart are blessed with the gift to heal and inspire us. I've been working hard to rid myself of sarcasm and irony in my language since 9/11... I think it is useless whereas I used to depend on it before... it is too hard to lift my spirit from the sadness of that day without making the effort to be genuinely engaged with everyone that I come in contact with...I don't feel that irony can serve me any longer because it can all end so quickly without a chance to explain what I really meant to say or how I really feel, so now I just say it! Thanks for posting these stories, it makes me happy to get to know how you feel in a way I just couldn't when we were passing time in the dingy campus environment where we met!
