True empathy

I had the most amazingly wonderful experience this morning in a life skills room in our local high school, where one student and his teacher were performing a jam session for the other students and teachers as well as a group of folks from other rooms. The student performer who Is nonverbal and has significant cognitive and physical challenges, played bass and lip-synched while his teacher played keyboard next to him. Watching the interaction between student and teacher and the response of the audience many of whom face significant challenges of their own brought tears to my eyes. People sang along danced, clapped, and hooted and howled at the end of each song. If only all typical people could be as supportive, encouraging, and appreciative as the students were for each other, the world would be so much kinder a place.
