A letter from Aug 25th, 2021

I am writing this the night before my first official day as a philosophy teacher. It's funny how you dream about something for so long but now it's right here. Fr. Ferriols is up in heaven and I'm spending my first lecture talking about his work, his person. This was how it was meant to be. I'm nervous. I'm excited. But in the paraphrased words of Rudy Francisco, I'll learn to love you the same way I learned how to ride a bike: scared. Wherever you are right now, please know you were (not just excited and scared but) very proud of yourself when you wrote this. Please help make this world a better, kinder, more human place. With regard to purpose or spark (that's a Soul reference!), it is all that matters in this lifetime. Love, Serge 2021
