Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Sitting in my wheel chair, near the stairway to a lounge, I clearly heard what sounded like some men Laughing hard and carrying on…it seemed a bit peculiar…they’d laugh a bit…then stop…then laugh again! I became quite curious, and couldn’t help but wonder what it was the men were laughing at. But they were up a flight of stairs, so I could only listen. I couldn’t see a thing from where I sat. A man I knew walked down a minute later, and I said, “Sounds like you were having quite a time.” “Yes, we were,” the guy would answer, “I and several others were laughing at the antics of a mime! “Funny thing about it was, though most spoke different languages, all were laughing hard, despite the fact The mime, of course, never spoke! They all responded likewise…though not a word was said throughout the act. “The mime had actually taken folks from several different lands and found a way to make them act as kin! What I learned is this, my friend…despite where someone’s from…all are just the same - beneath the skin.” And when the other people from the lounge at last appeared, coming down the steps I couldn’t climb, I was stunned to see the mix of nationalities…trailed, a moment later, by the mime. Germans, Asians, Muslims, Hindus....Chinese, French, and Swedes....some in ethnic garb....would pass me by, Chatting in their native tongues, and thus I clearly saw…why he’d named the mime - the reason why. Think about it. “Funny”’s funny…anywhere we go…and “sad” is sad…no matter where we are. Certain things will make us laugh, while others make us cry…regardless where we travel…near and far. Speaking different languages doesn’t change ones instincts. Emotions do not change from place to place. All around the world we laugh and cry the very same…and smiles and tears are strangers to no face. The next time that you’re socializing, try this little tactic: Close your eyes and act as though you’re blind Just before you meet someone…before you’re introduced, and see them first with just an open mind. Even though your eyes are closed, you’ll learn what really matters, and see - that person’s - most important part. Differences will seem to blur…physically, at least…if only you will view them through your heart. If it weren’t for differences in color - and in looks…I believe we’d - all of us…be friends. I only hope I’m still alive when prejudice and hatred --- based on where one’s from --- completely ends. PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces).
