More than a merchant
     The name Harry Winston is legendary in the world of gemology.  The company Harry Winston founded almost 70 years ago is considered one of the finest jewelers in the world.
     There is a story about a salesman in Winston's firm who was showing a beautiful diamond to a rich Dutch merchant.  The prospective customer listened thoughtfully to the expert description of the gem, but decided, "It's a beautiful stone, but not exactly what I want."
     Winston had watched the scene unfold.  As the merchant was making his way to the door, Winston stopped him, "Do you mind if I show you that Diamond once more?"  The merchant agreed.  Winston took the stone in his hand.  He did not repeat anything the   salesman had said.  He simply talked about the gem as an object of deep beauty.  Abruptly the customer changed his mind and bought the diamond.
     While he was waiting for the gem to be packaged, the customer turned to Winston and said, "Why did I buy this diamond immediately from you when I had no    difficulty at all saying no to your salesman?"
     Harry Winston answered, "That salesman is one of the best in the business.  He knows diamonds--but I love them."

CONNECTION:  Today we celebrate the Spirit of God, the great love that binds the Father to the Son and now binds us to God and to one another.  It is a love that transcends words and laws and sentiments and embraces the heart and soul of each one of us; it is a love that gives voice to the things we really believe but are too afraid to speak; it is a love that inspires us with the courage and grace to work for the dreams we are sometimes too cynical or fearful to hope for.  May we always realize the Spirit of God within us, always aware of the presence of God in our lives that enables us to be the people God calls us to become.
