The English Channel: A Tribute to Susan Hawkins and Linda McCloskey | Page 34

I miss Linda. I miss the feeling of connection she brought to my life and to our students’ lives.

People and the world we live in bless us with their attention.

Linda helped me to remember that I am receiving these blessings all the time, and that I can bestow the blessing of attention on others in turn. A great gift indeed, from a great-hearted woman. I am humbled at the thought of how much she gave, and was always giving, even when people weren’t noticing.
