Say Something

There was an old man sitting on the shore of a beach, in the village where I spent my short holiday. He was looking around and waiting for people to get closer, and when someone approached him he started a conversation always using the same Italian words “L’acqua è calda”. The seawater is warm.

He used to speak to everybody, and if you walked by you could hear him repeat the same sentence again and again, like a mantra. I found it a weird behavior, but I soon realized that he got the most incredible reactions.

I replied to him “Not really”, and closed the conversation. How rude. Another woman said she was going out into the open sea, to find a current of cold water; a man spent one hour talking to him about climate change.

I was surprised to notice that there was always someone near him. I once approached them — walking slowly in the water because it was not really warm — and they were talking about politics. It was our beach social corner. Maybe it’s one of the basic laws of communication: just say something.

It made me think we should all share a little part of our life. Some people will not care, others will be suspicious like I was with that man. But just a few faithful followers are enough to create magic: they share energy and positive feelings. They connect.
