The Ribbon Cutting

This past Saturday was the M2H ribbon cutting ceremony for the new community class center. I couldn’t believe the turnout. It was worse than standing-room-only: there were people everywhere! The mayor of Mount Kisco was there, along with members of the town board and the Chamber of Commerce. Alex gave a great introduction using his electronic voice; I was so thrilled by it. I beyond loved Judy’s speech, and the panelists were fantastic.

There was something electric about the whole thing: I can’t really put my finger on just what it was. I think that Judy is right when she says that it was the shift in how outsiders saw us. Instead of thinking, “Oh! You poor things!” they were thinking, “Wow! How smart are those guys?” All it took was for them to see us talking.

I am like walking on air to know that we can change how we are seen. It is possible to make the world a better place for us.

Noise

Listening to happy noises makes me almost giddy. Walking into M2H, for example, is beyond awesome. Hearing Anne cry out, “Luke Gilmore is in the house! Gimme a jazz hands a whoop!” makes my heart sing. Hearing Judy yell “nasty!” during Uno, or Rocco’s “waa waa waa!” make bubbles of laughter tickle me inside. I know our senses are sensitive, and often sounds can hurt. But never these sounds.

It’s awkward to admit it, but I always have struggled with noise. It really bothers me often, and it makes me anxious. That’s why it’s weird that the racket of fun here is not only fine, but my favorite.

The noise of Yankee Stadium prevents me from going to a game no matter how much I want to go. I struggled at the gala last year because of the noise, and there was no place I’d rather have been. So why the laughter and yelling of M2H doesn’t bother me is a mystery. I’m just lucky I guess! Jazz hands!
