<DIV> Harrison and Jon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A personal note of thanks for your notes. I recently returned from Beirut
(less than two weeks before the conflict). When I read your <SPAN
class=correction id="">emails</SPAN> tonight, I had just completed one of my
own to one of my <SPAN class=correction id="">Lebanese</SPAN> colleagues, and
was feeling quite helpless. In fact, I have felt quite helpless over the past
few weeks as I communicate with my Lebanese colleagues and friends by
phone and email.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jon, your words regarding demonstrating "huge respect" and the power of
just "connecting" brought such comfort at this moment. It makes me think
that what I offer my Lebanese friends just might have some real value
after all. And while it does not involve a typical open space and large
circles - I hope that as I try to <SPAN class=correction
id="">exhalt</SPAN> THEM, and connect with passion, "maybe human love can be
seen at its highest" - even if just for a fleeting moment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Harrison, I now feel less helpless. And I know you are right, the fever
has to run its course - it is sometimes just so hard when it hits so
close.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
