I have a buddy in town. He really intertwines with people. He loves people and probably keeps in touch with hundreds. You never know what he is going to invite you to next, or what he is into. Yesterday he was making a Bucky Ball, a Buckminster Fuller-inspired soccer ball type shape which alternates between hexagrams and pentagons. He also has studied cancer self-treatment for thirty-nine years, self-treatment that most of us never heard about. He is a shade of a revolutionist in a peace-abiding way. He sure isn’t timid. He thinks for himself, and he lets the chips fall where they may.
This is the friend who invited me to meet Gonga and Tara at Revelations in a previous blog entry. His name is Alan Kreglow. He is always a gentleman.
He said one of the nicest things to me the other day. Others might not take much note of it, but I did. If you remember my entry about the Five Languages of Love, you may remember that nice sincere words, among other things, stand out for me.
The other day on the phone, Alan said matter of factly: “Gloria, how many other people’s phone numbers on a post-it do you think I carry around with me on my back-pack?” None, of course.
That is a great compliment, isn’t it?
Now I ask, How many people are there who carry a post-it on their back pack at all?
