Starting a week ago Saturday, strangers and acquaintances have - TopicsExpress

Starting a week ago Saturday, strangers and acquaintances have been stopping me in the streets and restaurants of Davis to talk about an essay I published in the Sacramento Bee. Friends have been sending me emails. My son and I have received invitations to attend a movie in a theatre in Roseville. And Saturday I was stopped at the Midtown Sacramento Farmers Market by the Education Editor at the Bee. She and her husband and kids had biked to the market just as my family of five biked to the movies on Christmas Day. Kate and I also received many encouraging and supportive comments from friends via social media and email, including a nice piece in today’s The Peoples Vanguard of Davis. Some of my favorite comments about the article came from notable strangers in letters to the editor and viewpoints. The first came from Beverly Baker, a teacher of a special-needs classroom in Rescue, California (near Shingle Springs) – she hosts disability awareness presentations at her school, and briefs everyone there on opportunities to share compassion. The second came from Dr. Lou Vismara, co-founder of the UC Davis MIND Institute (and thus a hero of mine), who pointed out that the sort of behavior we saw at the movie theatre on Christmas Day might indicate anger-management concerns. The third, coming yesterday, came from a giant in Sacramento journalism, Gregory Favre, the former executive editor of The Sacramento Bee and retired vice president of news for the McClatchy Company. I hope you will check out Favre’s viewpoint, not only because of the picture of my son Jukie in the Sunday paper, but also because of the masterful way that Favre uses metaphor and insight to weave together multiple narratives. I’m encouraged to see such strong writing in The Sacramento Bee and am humbled by all the attention (1282 shares on Facebook alone) paid to the Christmas story I shared. I will resolve to see how and where I can share my written stories and reflections more widely! Thanks, and Happy New Year! sacbee/opinion/op-ed/article5641758.html
