But traveling abroad, you don't know what they are saying.
Signs could be warning you, but it doesn't help. I thought of this as I drove and wondered what those signs were telling me.
Life is like that. Sometimes you understand people and other times you don't.
They can be talking right to you, even yelling, but you don't understand what they are saying.
It's a real handicap.
But universally, you can pick up their tone.
You instinctively pick up their attitude.
I've been snubbed in the South of France without a word, and warmed by a smile in Italy.
No words necessary.
Let the language you speak today, be one of love, whether with words or without.
Mother Teresa said it well: "You speak a language all men understand, the language of charity." (page 368, The Joy in Loving)
David Benner called it "the language of the soul." (page 11, Surrender to Love)
