Stories draw us in. We’ve all got one. I listened to two this morning from complete strangers, both, in their own way, compelling and inspiring.

Some people aren’t shy about telling you their story. Some thrust theme selves forward. That tells its own story.

The most interesting tales though, are the ones which take time, patience, and even a degree of love, to uncover. And friendship. Stories that aren’t easily revealed by the teller. Either due to shyness, humility, or because of their private nature.

It’s such an honour to hear those ones. They are my favourites.
