Maybe you had a kaleidoscope when you were little. It is an object like a tube with many stones of various shapes and colors inside. If you twist it and look through one eye of the tube, you always see fascinating combinations of new shapes and colors always differently arranged.
They are people similar to the kaleidoscope. Not many, we don’t meet them often. They are the ones with whom you start a conversation about something and, step by step, you go in completely different directions.
I recently met such a man. He is an artist, somewhat expected to be like a multi-faceted diamond, all surprising. But to be a very fine connoisseur of people, to have an intuition and an elegant, humble behavior, these are not qualities encountered at every step.
I have a few more people, among my clients, with whom I start with what I’ve done before and we get to a story, then to psychology, philosophy, painting, movies, the art of writing and so on.
When I was preparing for college I had such a teacher. The meetings with him lasted 4-5 hours each, he told me about Spanish, French art, classical music, architecture, the history of Romania, it seemed to me an encyclopedia.
Kaleidoscope people are gifts that life gives us. It’s good to cherish them, to look for them, to keep them close. They enrich us too. They say we’re the sum of the people we surround ourselves with, right? I suggest you think of someone in your circle who is a ‘kaleidoscope‘.
