"When we honestly ask ourselves
which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those
who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share
our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand."
~ Henri Nouwen
Hurricanes
are scary -- even when they miss you as one just did where I live. I was touched to receive texts and emails
from friends and professional colleagues.
One of them was from a professional colleague whom I have not seen in
years, but she always reaches out to me when a hurricane is in my
vicinity. Another email came from a
colleague in another country who I know is busy managing hurricane response,
but she wrote nonetheless. It is nice to
know that people are thinking about you and hoping that you are okay.
