your words resonate deeply within. yes. college is about all these things and should never be about this. never. no time should be. my heart has been so heavy, but my prayers join the prayers of so many for this incredible community at VT.
thank you for the link to nikki giovanni’s poem. i cried and felt my heart soar as i listened to her…

Christine, my heart goes out to you and all of your fellow Hokies. I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling. I hope this national day of mourning today will bring all of us just a tiny bit closer in the face of this horrific tragedy.

I think that this is the amazing thing about us humans: that in the midst of awfulness we can create opportunities for beauty, meaning and love. Even in these winter moments there are still the seeds that can make for an amazing spring. . .

You’ve said exactly what I’ve been thinking. Tech played such a pivotal role in my life…I mean that’s where I met you my dear friend. The Tech community will come back from this stronger and will survive. I know that I come to tears every time I hear any new information or watch a tribute on youtube, but this is part of the grieving process. Some students will not return to Tech, others will hold on to the school and their friends for dear life. But in some way, they will all get through…they’ll never ‘get over’ it but with time, the pain will lessen. I just wish I could be there to hug everyone. Go Hokies!

christine…tonight i watched the national news and saw that candlelight vigil. the images of the gleaming flames was such a inspiration and then, the low chants…..[HOKIES!]. i broke down. sobbing.
you are so right sad but inspiring.
i am thinking of you and all of vt.
