“ It was one of those striking moments in life where you find familiarity in the inexplicable. ”
I’d learned so much from traveling to familiar places that I figured I’d learn twice as much by going to a place I knew nothing about.
~ Gerry Abbey
And so we went. And so it went. And, slowly, I began to learn: speaking in the same language does not equal communication, especially when there is a cultural divide.
I looked out again at the rising moon and I let the weight of my day, my week, lift away with the rushing wind as I was blown into the depths of myself.
Somehow, we were passing the boundaries of language and finding clarity in shared thought, even if we were just talking about beer!
