Im down in westchester county ny tonight on my way down to a meeting in nyc tomorrow. Im camped at my friends chandu and patti’s because i didn’t feel like driving into the city tonight. The trip down today was an interesting contrast. It was the first time id listened to the radio since the tragedy in sandy hook on friday.. For several hours i heard various bits of news and analysis about the shooter, the victims and the community . My heart grieves for them.. Alone in the car, i lost it for awhile.. One of the descriptions they had of the principle reminded me of a line in sams obit and i started crying… It had been waiting for me for two days and it had to come out… A few minutes later i looked up and realized i was driving through the town.. I was in sandy hook ct… I hadn’t even known where it was.. And there i was… I sent as much love out there as i could as i drove by the exit..

Only 30 minutes later i was in a room full of friends at a holiday party at my good friends ruchir and rashi’s . The house was warm and festive.. And full of kids…the contrast was dazzling.. I spent a very nice couple of hours catching up with friends, talking about our families, about work.. And about everyday stuff..

In a few short miles I’d driven from darkness to light But its the way it has to be.. The world moves on from tragedy.. It. Has to… We have to… Lets wish the folsk who need it strength and peace… At the same time, lets hold our friends and family close this holiday and send as much love out into the universes as we can. Thats the only way to push back the dark.

Nite all, nite sam
