Today I want to quote Clifton Murray, one of the talented Canadian Tenors. All four of these tenors appear to be warm hearted men; just listen to them sing and you’ll agree. In a recent article I read about the tenors Clifton Murray is quoted as saying, “my mom has always put those less fortunate ahead of herself”.

Murray grew up in Port McNeil, B.C. and his home was often a haven for those less fortunate than him. Murray continues and says, “My neighbour had schizophrenia and ended up living on the streets…but she had an incredible talent for writing poetry. I remember sitting in her [government-funded] home, stacked high with garbage because she was a hoarder, as she read the most beautiful poems, and I realized never to look down on someone because they’re suffering - everyone has a talent to give.”
Yes, we all have a talent to give. It is our job to find our talent and then give it to the world. I applaud Murray’s obvious compassion for his neighbour. Let us all be such good neighbours.
