A teacher arrived in my life some years back. His name Peter Blumenthal. He introduced me, on a profound level, to honesty, humility, character, gracefulness, perseverance, humor, integrity, devotion, and most of all love. Peter has Down’s syndrome. I tutored him for over five years at Santa Monica College. He now teaches computer skills and volunteers at the local gym. I was his tutor… he is my teacher.
A top a grassy knoll, upon a cliff. The warm southern breeze bearing the smell of Jasmine. Tall blades of grass brushing against my face, as I looked up into the sun. The power you behold… the unconditional warmth you bestow. The willingness to shine day after day. To give us light along our way. This light, not for a few, but for all. The sun so shines that we may live. Natures whisper… one of many gifts.
