Yesterday I received a rather humbling email from a friend and colleague. Here is some of what the email - and the author - said.
"Hey Richard,
I started reading a book today and came across a quote that immediately reminded me of you.
--Latin, chaval. No hay lenguas muertas sino cerebros aletargados.
--Latin, my boy. There is no such thing as dead languages only dormant minds.
(Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Sombra del Viento)
Smiling? I thought I heard your voice when I was reading it."
Matt Kostakis
It speaks for itself.
I needn't say more, except,
"I was indeed."
Smiling, that is.
