Sometimes it is easy to miss the day in, day out aspects of the work.
Mr. Gurdjieff was often the first up in the morning, he went shopping early in the markets for the food for the day.
He worked with his students, his patients, attendend and hosted his lunches and dinners.
Fed the people in his neighbourhood, held meetings, and all the other activites we read about that were
the material for the dozens of books radiating from his teaching and being. (especially the later years in Paris).
Mr. Wolfe wrote that once, he happened to step into an elevator that Mr. Gurdjieff had been in shortly before him.
He asked the elevator operator what he thought of the gentleman who had just been in there and travelled up or down a few floors.
The young man replied: "He knows something".
