I'm fine, thank you, and how goes it with you?
Podcast 98 Mortality draws us together. Nobody asks me, “What you in here for?” but we’re all vulnerable, sickness and trouble are a great equalizer of people, which makes the everyday more beautiful.

People come to Mayo from all over because there are great minds here, but what touches me is the steady cheerfulness of the place. The man who stands at the front door whose job it is to say, “Good morning.” The kindness. You sit in an examining room and the doctor always knocks before entering. Your eyes meet. A handshake. Before your file opens on the computer and the test results are studied, here is your chance to recite your troubles to the sympathetic ear of silence. Each one is worthy. God loves each one. Life is good and that’s why we want more of it.
