Awe

Awe is my favorite emotion. It means that my feelings of wonder totally work. I am mostly thinking about the way I get when nonspeakers do things that I thought were impossible. I am specifically thinking of Alex standing there reading the Torah. I had to look twice to make sure it was real. I am Hallmark Momenting: it was inspirational, to put it mildly. I can say that seeing it makes me realize that no one is handicapped so much that no dreams cannot be fulfilled. Alex’s bar mitzvah is proof of that. Having that belief makes it my goal too. 


I am awed, and that is wonderful.
