When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world.
You were born to die. In that I have no say.
But when that happens is not up to me. It’s up to humanity and—all too often—the lack of it.
The human heart is the most complicated creation I’ve ever encountered. The formation of the cosmos was easier to understand.
Yours is a group that is easy to read, yet difficult to comprehend.
You chiseled a wheel and transformed it from stone to wood to rubber. You have turned mountains into threads that control machines, computers and phones. You’ve even learned to fly without having your own wings.
All of this happened within a blink of the universe’s eye.
