Ruby, this is so lovely. You've really captured the essence of talking to our fellow humans. The Art of Noticing and I are hosting a Chit Chat Challenge, 10 days of talking to strangers. I will include a link to this beautiful article and a quote. Thank you.
Thank you for the inspiration to try this out in Berlin, where despite the majority is able to speak decent English, I still catch myself on a thought of withdrawal due to lack of confidence in German.
Deeply moved by your words, Ruby. I've needed my cocoon, deep rest and turning inward this past year. Yet under the warmth of my isolation felt lost and adrift. And feeling that it's too big a journey to climb out of the cave. Thank you for showing that small acts of rebellious connection are available everywhere.
I love this Ruby! I don't like wearing headphones when I'm out and about, mainly because it acts as a barrier to having spontaneous interactions like these. One of the things I'm enjoying most about speaking better Spanish now, is that it also facilitates talking to strangers here. Beautifully written, and yes, it's what we need right now.

Thanks for the appreciation dear Rubi, I'm glad it spoke to you. And how cool that you are doing the chit chat challenge, I love it!

The man with the newspaper is my role model 🙃
I’m glad you received some inspiration to give it a go!
I love this so much. It is so what is contained in the whispers of my awareness and intuition yet I couldn’t quite grasp it but had been feeling it.
Your writings often do this to me Ruby - bring clarity to something that I feel deep down.
I’m tempted to try this!
Thank you so very much, Ruby. I love reading your words each time you share. They bring me back to myself. ❤️
Just brilliant. I’m reposting this, probably getting that book and embarking on this challenge as well. Thank you for this inspiration Ruby! 🤩

What a beautiful challenge. These random small gestures of kindness makes a big difference. Thank you ❤️
