    "This is actually a true story - see http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/c/cabbie.htm I recently met Kent Nerburn the author of this beautiful story, and asked him about the experience. He said that people often ask why the old woman called for the cab at 2.30am. He said it just happened like that, and he didn't know why, and didn't ask her. Having left her at the hospice he just drove off into the morning, with many questions unanswered. Where were her family? She said she was the only one left - she had no remaining family. Kent seems a very warm, compassionate and humble person - and I take him at his word - that the story is actually true. We hope to feature more stories by Kent in future on Zen Moments, and it is our intention only to feature true stories on the site." - Zen Moments comments

    Whether this story is true or not does not, in my mind, diminish its quality.
