I think it is crucial to our happiness and our humanity to be the light and not the darkness in this divided, hot mess of a world. I think most people are good and when we "err in the direction of kindness", we open our hands to "think[ing] higher" and "feel[ing] deeper" as Elie Wiesel would say.
My life has been full of what people would call obstacles. I should not be where I am today considering the odds stacked against a little brown girl from a small town in Texas. But all the experiences have led me here to this school, on this day, and I am so grateful that I get to see you all write notes to one another.
Watching you read them brought a lot of joy to this old heart of mine.
Thank you for that.
I hope today was a favorite one for you too.
Love and Light (and long live Post-Its),
Beltran

ReplyDeleteForever shall the creation of Post-It-Notes last. Today was superb and very touching this young heart of mine. Now, I believe I have adopted a rather childish obsession to this silly ole' color slips of paper. Thank you Beltran, as always.
