The Roar That Lies On The Other Side of Silence

What's to come:

Thank You

Today I feel reminded of what I'm responsible for.  The character I should own.  I see the people around me--loving, caring, selfless, graceful, giving people and am amazed.  It's illuminating.  Inspirational and strangely painful.  I feel like a kid today; I look at the people I love and think, I want to be just like them when I grow up.

I guess I have some more growing to do. 

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
