My life is as if each person I know was born with a beautiful book with golden edges on each page, and each of us can read the language of our own book containing our own unique values, ideas, insights and direction, yet we cannot read the language of anyone else's book, and they cannot read our book. And, then, you and I started talking and I discovered that while the words in your book are different from mine, the language of your book is exactly the same as mine, and words flow and flow between us without effort. Then, I looked closer in my book and I saw beautiful, happy pictures of you and your family... and I smiled.
