struck speechless

I write tonight because I miss blogging. I write tonight because I want to reach out in some way to others and to just be. I write to be with others. James Britton wrote that the primary function of "expressive" writing is to be with others. I remember citing that line in one of my exams. And now I repeat it here because I really have nothing else to say but I wanted to say something.

I'm relieved that schools, including my own, are reaching out to help victims of Katrina. I'm sick inside at the thought of the trauma these people are going through. And the trauma that's going to stay with them for a long, long, long time.
