On the way home from Greensboro, NC, I slammed into a “teacher”. This young man sat next me, immediately introduced himself and started talking…..and talking….. and talking. It was like being in my own company since I am “silence-challenged” myself.
Chatty Cathy doll meets Chatty Cathy boy.
I was weary and in no mood to talk, but with each new thing he shared, I was learning something. It was not the facts he was sharing, but the wisdom that was whispering. I listened, I heard and I learned – exactly what I needed to, in that moment.
The lesson? Always be open. Always allow magic. Just when you think you will be dropping your exhausted head in a fashion magazine on a tiny jet that strained your nerves, you just might have your life changed…..in exactly 30 minutes…..with a stranger…….by one conversation.
