Finding the Magic


Leon Logothet is counting on the generosity of the human spirit to travel around the world thanks to the kindness of strangers. He is riding his yellow motorcycle, which he calls Kindness One and travelling with no money, food or anywhere to stay.

"I used to be broker in London, sitting behind a desk, working 12 hour days, and it wasn't for me," he explained. "Then I went and traveled the world and connected with people. And that's what it's all about. That's where the magic is—connection. Heart to heart."

I was reminded of this story when a friend called to ask me if I had any photos for the memorial service of our mutual friend who just passed away. Earlier this week I had looked on my hard drive for a photo to post on my blog, but had not been able to find any pictures of her that I liked. My first response was to say that I had already looked. Instead, I said that I would look on all my external hard drives.

Today’s gift was to plow through my old hard drives looking for photos of my friend. I was able to locate a few that showed her connecting with friends—heart to heart. Matter of fact, I noticed in the photos that lots of people were smiling and connecting. It reminded me to be more like Leon and find the magic in connecting with others.

In Giving,

Robin
