J,
You did it again!
Here I’m just minding my own business, plugging away at IT support at a busy university lab–and loving it–and not even thinking about the whole development process, let alone laying down a single letter of code, and you have to go and write something that inspiring and transcendent. It makes me want to sell all my things, give the money to the poor, and live an ascetic life in…well, anywhere. Or, just carry a mirror around, you know, just waiting.
Seriously though, that was beautiful. I’m printing this out and stuffing the page in my tattered copy of “The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart”.
