I've always seemed to automatically start trusting people who use a lot of hand gestures. Needless to say, it does not happen that often. I've never really been quite able to say why I do that, but I always perceived them as more reliable and confident than people solely focusing on verbal communication. Maybe it's because of the fact that many people are keen on saying stupid things and I need something to draw my attention from that. It doesn't matter that much now though.
I thought of mentioning that because of something I experienced when being on the bus and coming back home from school today. I do not normally look at people in public places in a scrutinising way, not do I usually feel the need to. Today was different though. I tried to focus my attention on the economic notes I had prepared for myself to read to while away the time I had to spend on the bus, but instead found myself utterly captivated by the hand gestures done by three girls sitting in front of me. I must have looked really weird, but I did not realise that at the time. The only thing I could think of doing was staring at their hands as they were speaking about, to be honest, pretty mundane things.
And then it dawned on me. The we're all going to die way. The somebody ate my chocolate bar, it must've been my sister way. Just all at once. We all use hand gestures. And that's incredible! Notwithstanding of the obviousness of those facts, I sometimes find
myself in a situation when I actually realise and start seeing them.And that was that kind of a moment.
So now I'm sort of contemplating that fact, while drinking Masala Chai and trying to get rid of the metaphorical darkness interfering with my spirituality (by the way, happy Diwali to everyone!)
I'm also listening to Hagelin, Presley and Sinatra and thinking to myself that it's going to be a pretty legendary end of the year.
We'll see how it goes
