Henri J.M. Nouwen Quote
Then occupation is called a blessing and emptiness a curse. Many telephone conversations start with the words: I know you are busy, but … and we would confuse the speaker and even harm our reputation were we to say, Oh no, I am completely free, today, tomorrow and the whole week. Our client might well lose interest in a man who has so little to do.
