We shook harder and then Norman pulled me in and hugged me. “I’ll see you soon,” he said.

“Me? I’m done, Matt.” At least for now. But it’s not about doubt for me. It’s about fuel. I need to refill the tank. But I don’t doubt my skills.”

of all the wisdom Norman shared, openly or just by example, the one lesson that has stayed with me is this - everyone has a right to be heard, to be represented both by law and by story, regardless of how much we may disagree with their point of view or their beliefs. If we never stop to listen, we will never have the opportunity to find out where we do agree.
