Just keep silent. Let the feeling sink in until it consumes your heart.
That was what I struggled to do when I unearthed the challenges this young man faced in his life. When his name was called, he covered his face for a second, perhaps grappling with momentary disbelief. He then stood up and as he walked up the stage, I can only imagine how the love of his grandmother and his relatives who took care of him since the time his dreams began to take root became so clear and manifest tonight.
He received a recognition embodied in a trophy. But this trophy embodies the truth and a confirmation that the enduring power of love can allow you to see beyond the limits of your circumstance. Love nurtures an enduring faith in the inherent goodness in all things. This allows us to easily see our own goodness and our own giftedness and ultimately - make it bear good fruits in the world.
That is what I witnessed tonight. Things do fall into its proper place with love. I am so proud to have worked with you. I am so immensely grateful to have known you.
Congratulations! May others find inspiration in you and let your light shine in the world. #amdg #magisawards2015
