I have attended the Oregon Country Fair for 23 years. It has been an important event in my life. I have had many great experiences and have made many life long friends. It is also a festival where people are quite transparent, open, and sincere. Especially children. I must say some of the greatest interactions I have ever had as a one handed person has happened at the Oregon Country Fair. Because of this I have actually looked forward to it in a very one handed way with great joy and anticipation. 

One day at the Oregon Country Fair I was approached by two young teenaged girls. I was just hangin’ out after a musical show looking at the schedule to see what I wanted to do not. I noticed to young girls looking and smiling at me. I smiled back and kept reading the the Oregon Country Fair’s program newsletter call “The Peach Pit.” When I noticed the two of them looking at me again I gave them a really kind and deep smile. The next thing I know these two young girls were right in front of me asking if they could ask me a question. I was slightly stunned by what they wanted to know about my one handed life.

Show Notes:

  • The strangest questions can be asked by strangers.
  • We never know when someone will sincerely ask you for help.
  • Not having two hands has many benefits. And can even have benefits for others.

On day when I was leaving my job at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington. I was crossing the street on my way to catch the bus. Just as I entered the the crosswalk I noticed three people was the other way. Then I notice a very beautiful girl. My heart stopped. I then noticed she did not have two hands. I went out of my way to talk to her and show her my one handedness. We caused a minor traffic jam as we talked through the street light changing colors. She walked of smiling to catch up with her friends and allow the traffic to keep flowing. And as quickly as I saw her she melting into the sea of urban pedestrians getting off work. I so regretted asking her name and if she wanted to go out on a date. Who was the One Handed Girl?

Twenty years later and not a week passed by where I did not think about the one handed girl. Then one day I saw her working at a coffee shop in a small town in Oregon.

Show Notes:

It is always difficult to say who will have a huge impact on your life. Sometimes we do not know the where or the when it might happen either. Other times we are no paying enough attention to notice the people in our lives on a day to day basis that make a huge difference. In some cases it is the very simple and small interactions that can change your life in a small way at first. Only to have a powerful redirecting force in our lives.

For me it is a memory of a very old man on my paper route as a child who made a profound difference in my life. Every day I would walk my paper route delivering my newspapers. And everyday I would see this one old man building a house by himself. Everyday he would make ever so slow progress in building this brick house. I often look back on the one main and only true interaction we shared. I began realize he was not trying to impact me. He was just doing what he was doing. He built that house one brick at a time. And with one brick at a time in my memory of watching him everyday, and speaking with him once, he slowing changed my life.

Show Notes:

  • Delivering news papers as a child was my first real job.
  • Winter in South Bend, Indiana was cold and filled with snow. But this old man filled my heart with warmth.
  • Getting through life “on brick at a time.”
