The best of me is motivated through my sad eyes, in which my shoes are filled with the sand of the burdened others. I approached him to speak into his sad eyes and offer him my help, as would the friend who is no longer or never was in his life. "You really want to study with me," he asked with bright surprise. Yes, of course. His self defeating attitude vanished in that moment. So did vanish briefly the boundaries that kept me from touching humanity.
