Go see Mike

I was doing some work in Boston, and I had about four hours on my hands before I had to catch my flight back to New York, where I live. I was asking myself what I could do. And the thought came, "Go see Mike."

Mike was one of my wonderful, extremely talented students during the time I was teaching in the architecture program as an associate professor at the University of Virginia. Now he was in his first semester at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, in Cambridge just across the river from where I was.

When that thought came, "Go see Mike," it sounded like a God–thought, you might say—an inspiration from the divine Mind saying, "Jeffrey, this would be a good thing for you to do. Why don't you go do it?" I've learned to trust thoughts like that. It's that "still small voice" that the Bible talks about (see I Kings 19:12), which prompts us to do good things, often when we're not even sure why, or whether, we want to do them.
