Took few steps outside-
Damp-
Gloomy Easter Monday-
Caught as other times- by a very elderly – who could barely walk
All alone carrying a small bag of something of HOPE.
I instinctively and openly smiled at him.
Chat- chat- chat bla bla bla of a woman about her Easter day- she had apparently nobody to share with – but the well-known – not friend employee on shift.
Ignored the arrogance- of middled aged nobody who believed deserved attention- from the unknown who was me.
WHO- Unknown was- and wanted to remain- otherwise I would have decided differently-
Visited in several occasions the USA- HELLO- said to you by unknown is regular no matter their age and level- with no purpose-just hello – not how are you- the unknown angel of the street-
Hello- just hello- with no purpose- the stranger- no matter young- old or middle age-
Just hello- with no purpose.
Gloomy rainy day- caught by the news of Pope Francis dead on the new technologies means- after watching from the beginning until the end to HIS last URBI ET ORBI benediction- he could not even speak.
ALL IN FRENCH TRANSLATION.
Words of hope- against wars- love for the vulnerable ones- prayers against the violence in many areas of the earth- prayers for the REAL INCLUSION- and respect of all opinions and diversity-
THE REAL INCLUSION- NOT THE FAKE ONE- OF MANY MASKS SHOUTING IN A CORNER THEIR PERSONL MEETING WITH JESUS- AND SHOUTING THEIR PERSONAL PATH- NOBODY’S REALLY CARES.
Go to Church- all alone- confess your sins- in silence fanatic brutalised nobody.
Everybody would have the right to do so- SHOUT his Personal meeting with Jesus.
Confess your sins in silence- and ask for absolution.
On a GLOOMY day of Pope’s Francis fly to heaven- and an elderly man's struggle who deserved my real glance and smile.
Peace on earth.
ON A GLOOMY BANK HOLIDAY DAY!

So many feelings of the present day hypocrisy of a society that preaches unity and helping others yet everyone feels isolated. Nicely done
Thank you for your feedback and feeling on what I wrote.
A point to stress out, many gaps in societies, have the main responsability of local authorities and govenment. Very rich companies can do more in some cases.
