Hello, my name is Brian, and I am a window salesman. I carry a few types of windows, so listen
closely.
Would you like a window into my mind? Pay me in thoughtful conversation, black
coffee, and attentive ears. You can see
into the fog of my opinions, changing and forming as I meet new people with new
ideas. Sometimes this window is cloudy.
Would you like a window to my past? Pay me in empathy or sympathy, whichever you
prefer. But I warn you, it’s full of
pain and suffering and happiness and celebration. It’s probably like many other windows you’ve
peered through before. Maybe mine has
more blogging.
Would you like a window into my hopes and dreams? You can’t buy this one right away—it requires
an investment. Invest your time, your
heart, and your trust, and you can have it.
I don’t sell this window often.
Would you like a window into my life? I also sell doors, but those are more
expensive. There’s no fixed price for
these guys, but let’s go for a trial run.
Drinks? Dinner? Conversation?
You may not want this window, and it may not want you, but let’s wait
and see. Maybe there’s a spot in your
house where it will fit perfectly.
Which window fits your fancy? Would you like the clear ones with the
lifetime warranty, or the foggy ones with a better-but-riskier return on
investment? My name is Brian, and I am a
window salesman. What can I get for you?
