What if I met an old acquaintance, who had been a pretty good healer, and during our half hour one-sided conversation he bragged over and over about his important skills and all of the money he had?

What if he needed acknowledgment so badly but never took a breath for me to say a kind word back to him?

What if people ran from his monologues?

What if he gave me the gift of how beautiful humility is and how the quiet allows one person to compliment another person?    For Jim
