I found this and it moved me . . .especially the quote from Horace



* Talking to Strangers * 


We talked for a while before I sensed he had something controversial to say.


"I'm anti tourism. People travel, they have a momentary experience but nothing changes."


I was reminded of the quote from Horace "They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea."


Then I had something controversial to say


And I said it


"The most beautiful journey on the planet is the one towards healing."


He looked at me, unaware that I had already looked into him.


"What do you do, Malcolm?"


Malcolm - Clinical Supervisor, Gallery Owner, Social Democrat.

I didn’t know where this was from and wondered if it was a quote from Malcolm Gladwell the author who wrote a book entitled Talking To Strangers but I found it on the tumblr page . . . . . 

One Kindred Spirit
