He would cut up his cloak to be able to move rather than disturb the cat sleeping on it.
He would embrace the poor and radiate his warmth, undeterred by rags or social status.
He would never be the first to let go of a handshake's grip.
He was famous for his bright smile that flashed perfect white teeth.
He befriended the dark-skinned and the foreign at a time when only the prejudiced were welcomed.
He would stand up in respect whenever his daughter entered the room, and give her his seat.
He received with open arms visitors, offering all of the little he had.
He neither pressured, nor forced his teachings on anyone, inviting them instead with gentle reasoning.
He was diplomatic- open to third solutions, his ear always ready to listen.
He made sure everyone around him was fed before he turned to his hunger.
His lap held the weight of many children, careful to always build their confidence.
His tongue only knew the sweetness of words.
His heart never held an inkling of hatred, his tears abundantly flowing for his enemies.
He was so, so far away from what you are doing in the name of his religion.
