Hospitality is a natural outgrowth of my membership in the human family. It's a hands-on, open-armed virtue rooted in an instinct to grow beyond my inner landscape, like a flower turning its face to the sun. It demands my availability and attention, my flexibility and spontaneity. Unpredictable, often capricious, hospitality may mean wiping my grandson's runny nose one day and babysitting for my daughter's golden retriever the next.
