| I
have been remembering lately a time when I was over and Jeremy was
watching one of the Matrix movies and really wanted to show you one of
the martial arts scenes. "Mom, mom!" he kept saying, "You gotta
see this!" He was so excited, and so artless and genuine and
trusting in sharing his excitement with you—not at all hard or
jaded—and you were going along with it, and the scene went to my
heart. He trusted you, in some fundamental way, actually to be
impressed by what impressed him, and you were there for him. Natania Rosenfeld (Natania teaches in the English Department at Knox and lives just up the street from us.) |
