Feeling at home in the presence of another person

In a world that is torn by war, famine and hatred it is a moment of grace to meet someone who has that great and wonderful ability of making you feel at home in their presence.

No show, no game, no spoof, no game playing, instead trust and openness and that wonderful quality of graciousness. Add to that, erudition, holiness too, and you realise you are in the presence of a wonderful person. 

It has nothing to do with left or right, conservative or liberal, it’s humanity at its best. Maybe even a moment to get a glimpse of God.
