"a careful man..."

3 March 2020: "And I loved my father too, for the careful way he spoke. I came to understand that my father was a careful man. To be careful with people and with words was a rare and beautiful thing." --Ari, describing his dad, in Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

We're finishing up this book tomorrow in the YA lit class. This particular passage stuck out to me on today's re-read, when the world seems in desperate need of people like Ari's dad.
