The Kindness of a Guide

“Be a little kinder than you have to.”
~ E. Lockhart

On a recent business trip, I found myself in another city’s downtown unsure of how to get to my meeting destination.  As I stood on a street corner trying to decide which way to head, a gentleman walked by wearing a tag with my organization’s name on it.  I asked him if he was going to the same building where I was headed.  Yes, he said, and we walked together and had a very nice conversation.  I saw him several times over the course of the various days of meetings and we laughed about our street encounter.  He told me that he made sure to wear his ID tag each morning in case there was someone else who needed a guide.
