Naomi Shihab Nye The Arabs used to say, When a stranger appears at your door, feed him for three days before asking who he is, where he’s come from, where he’s headed. That way, he’ll have strength enough to answer. Or, by then you’ll be such good friends

The claim of “being busy”, sends the message that YOU are not important enough. Being Too Busy, breaks hearts daily…
The stranger at your door may be an angel in disguise
