Extroversion and ego at a UU conference
Monday, February 18th, 2008
I read a story once about a famous Chinese musician who was visiting the West, and was taken to a concert hall to hear the finest in European classical music. After the concert, he was asked what piece he liked the best.

– No, he said, the one before that.
Eventually, they realized he meant the period when the musicians were tuning their instruments.
Something similar happened to me at the conference I went to last weekend. (more…)
