He is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen and it's not about his face, but the life force I can see in him. It's the smile and the pure promise of everything he has to offer. Like he's saying, 'Here I am world, are you ready for so much passion and beauty and goodness and love and every other word that should be in the dictionary under the word life?'

I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: September 11th we are all Americans - in grief, as in defiance. ↗
