Yes, I agree – when you look up to the sky, something happens to us that’s beyond any set of facts we may recall. For some of us, it overtakes our entire lives! Both of you guys are going to be great teachers, I can see it. You’re really going to inspire your students.

I don’t think we’ll be in Wichita the week before the wedding/graduation, unfortunately. I’ll be in Philly the weekend of May 2, though! I just told Martin, too, that I have to rearrange Joori’s grad party for another time, and I hope we can figure out sometime when you guys can come. That would be a blast.

I haven’t read this, but I stumbled upon it the other day – Whitman: a Gay Life. It might provide some insights into the strong relationship between his sexuality and his work.

Seriously! We had to read some of his more erotic works aloud in my American writers class…I blushed.

So I know you guys can’t make it to the wedding, but Muffin should be in town the week before. Maybe we can arrange a meeting? I am so excited to meet Joori!

I love that poem by Whitman. This poem does suggest that astronomy can lose it majesty by listening to such talks. However, I am glad when the situation Whitman describes does happen to me. It is at times like these that I wander outside and look up. That is when I remember why I became interested in astronomy in the first place and I get rejuvenated. It also reminds me that when I talk to the public about the mission, or Mars in general, that I need to keep it accurate, but simple and even a little entertaining. I like to believe I succeed at both.
