A Soulful Journey

 Barry Bailey tells of visiting a woman with a keen sense of humor. "I asked how she felt and she said, 'Great.' I said, That's wonderful.' She said, 'No it's not, Barry.  I feel worse after I feel better'." J ust wait a moment. Things will turn around.

Art Buchwald told of the famous violinist Jascha Heifetz when he had come to a concert in Rochester, NY to give a concert on the day of a major blizzard.   Only 40-50 people showed up in the massive auditorium.   So he said to them: “You know, it’s ridiculous for me to give a concert for such a small audience.   Why don’t you just come back to my hotel?   We’ll have a couple of drinks together and we’ll schmooze.” But one person got up and said, “Mr. Heifetz, I’ve been a fan of yours all my life.   I traveled 120 miles in this blizzard just to hear you.   Please don’t disappoint me.” One person is, after all, a universe.
