(1,372 posts)6. Just talking lights my soul
I've found that lots of people are willing to sit and chat
while they're waiting for a bus or a plane (or on the plane)
Just sharing life stories can make such a wonderful connection
that I leave with a glow-on.
Especially now, where it seems our society has given us lessons
that make us believe that we will be taken advantage of at every turn.
Most middle class people and poor are just looking to live life
at the least expense and whith a few stories to tell about kind
strangers that they've met along the road.
I'm so glad you have a story to tell.
Thanks
