thanks nipun ... you captured the night well. I was marveling a bit after how eloquent you were on the fly when i saw you get the award... and I was thinking it makes sense you are eloquent because you are so authentic. and thats what wavy gets right too. his life seems to have followed a trajectory from being a poet in the 60s, to taking on that bus, to speaking at woodstock, to running the kids camp- all the disparate things seem to have an authentic thread of striving for some compassion, some laughter and some connection no matter what moment you find yourself in.
