Universal languages, as observed in Montreal

Universal languages are -

something you understand without speaking.

How you connect with people of

different.

Cultures, places, traditions.

How you love people who are not the same as you.

Nobody is the same.

 

Smiles.

Grinning,

exchanging looks.

It doesn't matter if you know what the joke is.

 

Laughter.

Shared communication

says everything and nothing.

Just laugh with one another.

 

Holiday spirit.

French Christmas carols being sung over the loudspeakers

the hustle and bustle of mixed English and French

the love

joyfully singing along

looking glowingly at a neighbor.

 

Music.

Everybody has their favorite tunes -

why not share them?

It doesn't matter what language

it's apparent what it's about

rhythm

feeling.

We could all stand to feel a little more.

  • Reflections

    Everybody hates mirrors.

    Anything reflective.

    Anything that shows you who you are -

    we will never be enough to appease ourselves.

    I miss when I could go into a public restroom

    and wash my hands

  • What I want

    I wasn’t

    Sure.

    Not one hundred percent.

    I knew I wanted it

    But I wasn’t prepared last time

    We weren’t ready last time

    I’m surprised I was ready this time.

    But I was -

    We were.

  • Hindsight is 20/20

    I am here to say this

    in only facts

    because I don't rely on feelings.

    Fact:

    Your Mr. Remarkable is quiet.

    Cold.

    Closed off.

    Didn't interact unless

    absolutely necessary

    smiled maybe twice.
