Thinking about my ‘why’ this AM. I’m as likely as anyone to get tunnel vision about working, saving, making music, trying to just enjoy and FEEL something in this life. And I’m aware that my helping (by joining my EAR teammates, and teaching music and English and whatever else we can help with) could be me helping mostly myself. But ALSO there’s something extraordinary about meeting people in these situations where they are down to the core of their wits, hope, their utter need for perspective – it’s where I learn what’s UNDER all our love and our constant grasping. And if I can give a little something back…hell yes!! I’ve been given so much in this life. It’s also a punch in my gut that fears all uncomfortable things.
