The thing you said about him clearing out a whole shelf of books so as not to intimidate anyone entering his office is so endearing and so Henri, as far as I knew/know him. I remember the story of rushing to his class at Harvard, always a bit late....passing a homeless man who was always there and dropping a $10 dollar bill in his hand. In the evening when he was doing his examen, he realized he had not called him by name, which he knew, nor looked him in the eye to see him as a human being. This distressed him enough to write about it in one of his books......the person was always the important part of the equation.<br /><br />Thank you for your post...<br /><br />I pray you stay healthy in mind and body,<br />MaryMiggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440403553842357213noreply@blogger.com
