A lesson in humility: Im having a conversation with a person I just met. The person is asking questions, genuinely curious about my life: what I do, where Im from, etc. I gathered basic information from this person: country of origin, history with the thing we have in common, which provides context for the conversation, to begin with. The persons name had been mentioned during the course of the evening, and that should have given me an identifying clue. Aesthetic consciousness. Immediacy. When the realization struck me who I was talking to, I felt such a rush of emotion. We had been sitting in meditation together, then casually chatting during a break. Such a beautiful realization, in hindsight. A person well-known in the arts community of Houston, a museum director, one whose personal labor of love— a Gandhi exhibit — will be on display until February 1st. I saw that exhibit a few weeks ago and left with the feeling that I wanted to return and see it again, look more closely. Life is full of unexpected joy. youtu.be/Fse9obn-oqY
