[humanser] Human Services: GRE & JAWS

Tue Dec 9 03:05:15 UTC 2014

Car,
I certainly did not hear you negating or disparaging the stance. I was
speaking broadly when I referenced acceptance of  pigeon-holes. You strike
me as one who considers the range of perspectives and does not narrow your
strand of definition. I am still learning like everyone  else and, in that
growth process, I am hoping that this might be  " the strand binding each of
our careers, and future careers together. "
Best,
MTC

Good morning, Mary Tatum,

         Wow. Within your post you described my outlook exactly, and, I hope
I didn't say anything that represented my not having such
beliefs/experiences.
I know we are pigeon-holed into which ever box people think we ought to be
squeezed yet, I hope not to consider my blindness such a hefty strand of my
identity as to dictate my perspective or my associations.
Reading this back, it seems, I am not capturing what I truly feel. It
doesn't do your letter to me any semblance of justice!
I want you to know, though, that I appreciate both your words themselves, as
well as your eloquence even if my response may be light-weight!
