One was an atheist friend who influenced a lot of musicians. He was passionate about the arts and would go out of his way to pour himself into other players to teach them.
He never noticed a slight or talked ill of people . He seemed oblivious to politics and networking and if I bothered to point out slights I recall him saying he purposefully ignored negative imput from people and had taken years to achieve this gift.
He didn't take credit for other people's gifts no matter how much he poured into them.
Another person is my mother. She forgave and forgave and served. She is beautiful but seems oblivious to this. She held her family together and went out of her way to visit people and be a mother to all in her church. She knew the value of hard work and laughter. She loves God , loves people and never minded feeding anyone who showed up home prepared meals.
She loved her kids and were defend their behavior and was devoted to prayer. She never met a stranger.She had a wonderful imagination and made everything more like a party.
