mere coincidence?

Savour kindness
helping hand in the forest, Durnstein
Pizza old couple, Melk

house warming, Tuscany

when 2 languages meet, cinque terra

Love, Luzern

i was in my hostel at luzern and i came across this man. he looked dishevelled and had a hunchback, i could have easily mistaken him for any bad guy in saw3. And i did. On a side note, i saw his facial expressions and smiles, and i knew he had a desire to share something, and i wanted to go into his thought bubbles. I began talking to him. He was travelling on his bike for 5 months around Europe. His exact words were - "my wife left and i wanted to cleanse my thoughts. travelling was his dream and he prayed to god that he can have just a lil money so that he can keep on going. I've been to south america, turkey, croatia, cech, tibet on my bike. i've seen many people - some people are rich but they are close, some are poor but open, some are poor but they are also close." We had a strange connection. He left early the next morning. ahh... where is he now?

I prefer to think meetings are planned.
