A thought for participants:  "It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the slightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Freshest Boy" (1928).
