People will not always want to buy what you offer.

Remember that it’s not that what you’re exhibiting is not precious.

You are not a salesman. You are not pushing an item.

In a world where people can offer their love to the highest bidder.

Or haggle over pennies.

 

Instead be like the philosopher that sits in his antique shop

Welcome people with a smile as they enter and let them browse all corners.

Let them see what treasures lay within this place.

Some will not see the beauty; some will dig to find more.

Some will not have the emotional currency.

 

If they wish to purchase something you must tell them

“Sorry, but nothing in this shop is for sale”

It is only a display so that others may appreciate but never own

But the right someone may be given a key

So they may enter or leave as they wish.
