"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to
none."
~ William Shakespeare
I had a
friend and professional colleague who joked that she would "confess"
people. For whatever reason -- it might
have been her beautiful smile or her ability to listen, people would tell her
all kinds of things. And while she joked
about "confessing" people, there was no doubt that she could keep
confidences. Less than a year ago, my
friend and I were riding in the back of a beat-up cab through dark streets in
another country and we had another one of those heart-to-heart
conversations. I thought about that ride
recently and what a wonderful way she had of listening and of inviting trust.
