Three Characters In Search Of An Author
________________

Three strangers across a crowded room:
Each is alone.
One stands in silent thought;
One eats but, as if shamed, never raises his eyes from the table;
One, like myself, absorbed by those around him.
I capture their image then go on my way,
No wiser of their world or worries.

“Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be
– like the reality of yesterday –
an illusion tomorrow.”
Luigi Pirandello

Perhaps you should be that author. Those photographs seem to capture souls.

Every face I see here seems to carry its story – a story that forces me to wonder…
Your posting this morning speaks more eloquently of that need and its importance.

So much unuttered conversation in their eyes and postures.

Perhaps it was what remained unspoken that made them so eloquent. Finding a balance between the power of word and silence is something which doesn’t come naturally to me..
