My son and I had a fantastic conversation regarding human interaction. As you know I am a fairly social being and my son is just as, if not more, gregarious than I am. He values the people he meets and the relationships he forms, as opposed to his dad who would prefer to be left alone on his boat with a sack full of books.
In discussing these relationships with him, I realized how fortunate I am to have met some amazingly interesting people. No they are not rock stars or ancient medicine men. They are people you meet in your day to day life that, once you dig a little deeper, you realize they are really quite fascinating. I would even say they are inspiring.
For example, this week was a fantastic uncovering of interesting everyday people that I work with. Consider one consultant who is working on her masters in Music (violin being her specialty) and also curls. Or the Office Manager who is an amazing artist and teacher (loving kids and seniors) as well as the founder of her own successful singing trio. How about the brilliant tech guy who married into a farming family and has spent years living and working on a fully functional farm? I even found out that a colleague used to play jazz guitar with the Colored Musician's Group.
Don't get me wrong, I also meet a great deal of losers and assholes. But overall, most are interesting and the really goods go on to become wonderful friendships
