It fascinates me that we often know so little about each other and how little time we take to try to discover each other.
Occasionally I will play the piano.
Someone where I live, will tell me they didn’t know I played.
When I report that amongst other places, I played topless in a flowery skirt for a lua band in Hawaii they are usually taken aback. Sometimes I’ll add that at 12 I played for a stripper named Syringa who danced with a snake.
This is what I mean. There are whole volumes of our lives that others don’t know about and we’d all be enriched (perhaps) if we took the time to find out. We are all more than we can see.
I visited a man in a care facility a while back and met a friend of his who was also visiting. All I saw about him was that he was tall, very tall. I took no time to find out anything about him. I recalled his name because when we both left the care facility the waves and cheers he got from other residents made it clear he was well known.
I was rather embarrassed when I got home and googled him.
This gracious man was a basketball star of national significance and I didn’t even know he played.
