Hospitality as kindness

Last night, I attended a dinner sponsord by the Intercultural Dialogue Institute which is an outreach organization of the Turkish-Canadian community.  I learned a great deal from the formal program but it ran long.  I was one of two non-Turkish Canadians at the table.  One of our table hosts stayed with us until the program was complete.  It was a snowy night and he had a long drive home to Ancaster from downtown Toronto.  I was impressed.
