I can't wait to hear what happens next! Will the new internationalism ditch Esperanto for the language of love?

Working "in the moment" to save the man's life in violence is the most human we've seen you. So maybe violence and dealing with it is the great humanizer. You did good.<BR/><BR/>Local knowledge is also good. Anything that has to be earned is worth more than something handed out on street corners or on TV. Earning it means putting in your time and listening. You'll earn a lot of it in Peace Corps.<BR/><BR/>My thesis adviser just asked if I had a chance to meet "Thelonius" last semester - that being you. So lay off the book knowledge and go for the wisdom. We're all rooting for you.<BR/><BR/>Much joy,<BR/>Adambluesbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083073302509425810noreply@blogger.com
