Dream of Albert Schweitzer I'm teaching a Health class to high school students who are not paying attention. Wandered across the hall to some lab, see Albert Schweitzer and ask for help He wraps his arm around mine and comes to my classroom I tell the class this is Albert Schweitzer, Peace Nobel Laureate, and medicine man from Gabon, Africa. You may have seen him on covers of Life and Time magazines, he's an expert playing Bach on the organ as well as an authority on philosophy. Those who has read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time may recognize him as a "Warrior of Light" certainly he has lighted my way in science & life. The class is now quiet and attentive. Seating next to me is 80-year-old poet Margaret Mullen who tells me "Surprised you've invited such an important guest. I don't want to miss a single word." Schweitzer says "My specialty is tropical medicine. There are thousands of diseases but only one health. So stay healthy." Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 2-8-2021 (Dream: circa 6:00-8:00 am) |
