Again, I am reminded that there are many facets to the people we meet. We know them in one capacity but they are often involved in other activities that can sometimes be most unexpected. Yesterday, I found out that one of the people who I play tennis with belongs to a theatre company that we have a subscription to. The East Side players has been putting on plays for many years at Todmorden Mills and are an excellent community group with some excellent productions. My friend is auditioning for Noel Coward's Waiting in the Wings, hope that she gets a part.
Another tennis player is an avid concert goer and visits art galleries regularly. She has been to concert with performers who I wish I had heard. I usually just picture her as a very athletic person but did not imagine that she had an appreciation for the arts.
On Friday, I am attending a pottery show that another friend is taking part in. She teaches ESL at a community college and was in management before that.
This reminds me that there is more depth to the people we meet than we assume at first encounter. Pealing away the layers takes time but is the enjoyable part of relationships with others. . We must take the time to get to know them and learn about them and their interests. People can be very fascinating and are in turn engaged in many activities in their various communities.
