| Sitting with Muck at Sam's place. I adore this dog--he is one of the leaning types that always is attached to a person, and he has decided I'm a pretty decent friend since I'm around him and Sam a lot. Totally mutual feelings! |

Today I spoke with two men in particular who have greatly influenced my heart and mind, one over the past couple of years and the other over the past couple of months. I find that I often learn and experience more in the quiet moments after conversation than during conversation itself. I am grateful for the words and for the silence.
People are so wonderful!
One Who Can Quit Seeing Himself
I look for one simple and open enough
to see the Friend, not an intelligence
weighing several perspectives. I want
an empty shell to hold this pearl, not
a stone who pretends to have a secret
center, when the surface is all through.
I want one who can quit seeing himself,
fill with God and, instead of being
irritated by interruption and daily
resentments, feel those as kindness.
