On your way to and from work perhaps, a stranger beside you seen for many weeks or years, on a bus or train. Or that person in your park, or favourite cafe might await.

The same features as you they have. A nose, two ears, two eyes, a mouth, just like you. And yet separated for all time you have been.

Different views than yours, for sure they have. But perhaps if you listen well, a new friend may result.

Sharing just a laugh, or some fears and thoughts, is all it takes.

Maybe all it takes today is a smile, then tomorrow perhaps more.

A risk it might seem to build a bridge, and yet without, never a river crossed, separated you’ll remain.

Today’s choices, your choices to build and invest, matter today more than the rest.
