Davis has had the habit of starting each day from a bench with a fantastic view of the Oakland. California waterfront (海滨). “Siting on the bench and watching a sunrise at the waterfront can bring peace and joy to my hear before staring my day,” said Davis.
One day a woman stopped there and said to him,“ You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK.” What she said suddenly made Davis realize that he should pay more attention to the people walking past. Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships. His openness to listen has won him the name “the Sunshine Listener”. “I’m happy to listen,” Davis said. “I want them to walk away knowing they don’t have to feel lonely.”
▲ They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said. ‘I just want to sit here with you.’” Davis said. “We looked at the water for some time, and then she thanked me and walked away.

Davis has had the habit of starting each day from a bench with a fantastic view of the Oakland. California waterfront (海滨). “Siting on the bench and watching a sunrise at the waterfront can bring peace and joy to my hear before staring my day,” said Davis.
One day a woman stopped there and said to him,“ You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK.” What she said suddenly made Davis realize that he should pay more attention to the people walking past. Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships.
