Mas muertos

Experiencing Day of the Dead, El Dia de los Muertos," especially in Oaxaca, changes one's perspective on life and death, the whole cycle.  So it is with that mind set that I passed through the amazing Holocaust Memorial in downtown Boston.  No matter how or when, it is a powerful experience.  I am always moved to tears and I have walked through it many times.

I remember walking under them with students through the years.  So it was even sadder this time as I remembered one of my former students, Paul Roy, who died this week.  He played sax in the band at school and was the best of the lot while he was there, the driving force in the group. As one who eulogized far too many students, it just ain't supposed to be this way.  No, they are supposed to eulogize us, but....

Think of the millions of Pauls in these pictures......
