IN MEMORY OF AMERICAN TEACHER DARREN "WHITE RABBIT" RUSSELL It is Easter, Passover, the time for family and religious celebrations of Spring. It is a time of renewal, and rebirth. It is a time of remembrance. An American, a teacher willfully displaced in Guangzhou, China needlessly lost his life here a year ago and his family is once again without a son as new life opens to the warmth and promise of a new year. I did not personally know Darren. But, I have come to appreciate, admire and care deeply about him, albeit obliquely, through his impact on those around him. He was genuinely cared for by students, associates and of course his those related by blood and shared experiences. At dawn on Sunday I will watch the sun rise. I will let the metaphor stand for the spirituality that sustains me and the knowledge that Darren's memory is held aloft by his family and a cadre of friends who have not idealized him in his death, but have done what true friends and caring families do: they simply continue to love Darren Russell. Visit his Site and please sign the petition that may protect other sons and daughters in China and other parts of the world should they one day need the kind of assistance that could prevent another tragedy.
