Staying Safe/Staying Open

"One of my favorite Charles Addams cartoons shows a college quad with a banner hung between pillars – “Welcome Class of ‘54”. Gathered below is the reuning class of ’54 – scruffy, in patched clothes, not a pin-striped suit or polished loafer among them. In the caption, one alumnus says to another: 'I thought it was me, but maybe the school’s no damn good.'
I am thinking about this cartoon because in June, I’ll return to my college, where there will be reunion banners welcoming alumnae, from members of the class of 1938 to the class of 2013 - none of whom will be in scruffy, patched clothes. And many of us will feel that we are failures compared to those around us." From Pamela Barz's April 22 sermon "Staying Safe/Staying Open" Read the entire sermon here:
