as Sam sees it

My son, Sam, and I drove to services together Friday night, and the words he shared with me on the way down the hill to Valley Temple have stayed with me since, so that I feel moved to share them with you:

"I like nice people," he said,
"because nice people are happy people,
happy people are good people,
and good people are peaceful.
And when things are peaceful, it is good."

"Oh, Sam," I said, "thank you so much for saying that."

"I'm really good at explaining things," he said, "at making things clear."

And so he is.
