她微妙的微笑

每一次你讀到的關於Gwen Ifill的回憶都會描述她的微笑。這不是微妙的。它從她的臉像一些精神爆炸照耀。

一次，在通過岩溪公園散步時，她告訴我，如果她星期天沒去教堂，整整一個星期她感覺有點。。。一個像她一樣深厚和熱情的精神需要營養和關懷，當它出來時，它出現在她的微笑，這是整體和無限制。
Gwen在一個艱難的業務工作，作為一個非洲裔美國人的女人在那個業務帶來了自己的困難和傷疤，但Gwen的微笑沒有阻止。她的整個性格與沈默的相反，她是一個陌生人。當Ifill她帶來白熾光（上帝的光）來到你，你得到人的連接全部。
你最好尊重它。照片後，我星期一通過我們的電子郵件交流。我不知道格溫和她的其他朋友，但她會每隔幾個星期給我發短，有時是神秘的電子郵件。有時候，這是一個恭維，有時是一個八卦，有時是一個jokey報價，擦掉一個對我討厭的人，有時她只是那種簽到的朋友：“由於某種原因，你已經在我心中。你好嗎？”

正如我剛才提到的，格溫是氣喘吁籲的，但她不軟。她是權威的，行政和信心。

我想每一個行業都有這樣的人，喜歡整個行業的人，當他們的標準得到滿足時，他們會支持恭維，而當他們不滿足時，他們會堅韌。 Gwen談到了很多關於她大家庭的事情，也談到了很多關於新聞編輯室和他們中的偉大的同事。

生活和例子Gwen Ifill by David Brooks NOV。 15，2016

Every reminiscence you read about Gwen Ifill  will describe her smile. It was not subtle. It shone from her face like some sort of spiritual explosion.

Once, during a walk through Rock Creek Park, she told me that if she didn’t go to church on Sunday she felt a little flatter for the whole week. A spirit as deep and ebullient as hers needed nourishment and care, and when it came out it came out in her smile, which was totalistic and unrestrained.
Gwen worked in a tough business, and being an African-American woman in that business brought its own hardships and scars, but Gwen’s smile did not hold back. Her whole personality was the opposite of reticent, and timidity was a stranger to her. When the Ifill she bring incandescence (God light)  came at you, you were getting human connection full-bore.
And you had better honor it. After the photos, I searched Monday through our email exchanges. I don’t know how Gwen was with her other friends, but she’d send me short, sometimes cryptic emails every couple of weeks. Sometimes it was a compliment, sometimes a bit of gossip, sometimes it was a jokey offer to rub out someone who’d been nasty to me, and sometimes she was just the sort of friend who checks in: “For some reason you have been on my mind. Are you well?”

Gwen was ebullient, as I’ve mentioned, but she was not soft. She was authoritative, an executive and confident.

I suppose every profession has a few people like this, people who love the whole profession, who pay compliments when its standards are met and who are tough when they are not. Gwen talked a lot about her extended family, but also a lot about newsrooms and who were the great colleagues in them.
