Hand to Heart

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life:
it goes on. — Robert Frost
Last year this month I attended Erica's match day at Georgetown--to see where she would be doing her residency. As we waited for her group to be given their envelopes to be opened at the stroke of noon, the nervous energy was palpable which lead to Erica's racing heart. That's my hand on the left feeling her pulse in her throat while her hand holds her scarf.
H is for heart and hands. Remember? she had open heart surgery to replace a faulty valve only three months before she started Medical School. Now her hands help heal patients she sees in the emergency room.
See more H's at Mrs Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday.

Anything war can do, peace can do better.**


While you are proclaiming peace with your lips,
be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
- St. Francis of Assisi
