I really had a stellar experience, in meeting Ted Kennedy, at the Natural History Museum, LA, where we had a Butterfly Pavillion this Summer, shortly before he passed.
It was so wonderful to be in this pleasant patio setting with little children looking at the butterflies, and holding their hands out for them to alight upon them. It was beautiful to hear their sweet little delighted voices, and for me to see the magnanimous/caring nature of Ted Kennedy, who was there for the same reason as I was, namely, just to hear and see innocence on a Summer day. He filled that whole place with his loving good vibes, and WOW did we ever get to find out what Kennedy Charisma was all about.
The vibes live on forever for all of us that peacefilled loving day…
with i
the dream will never die.
I promise.
