More true dialogue.

Igniting dialogue. With total strangers. That’s one of my favorite pastimes. I’ll do it soon. While flying to Italy. I accept the challenge.  By turning to the passenger. The one next to me. Doesn’t matter whether it’s man, woman or beast. Even if we don’t speak the same language. I’ll give it a try. Rarely do I have passengers on both sides of me. I prefer aisle or window seats. Maybe I’ll start booking middle seats. Gives me more options. Tackling two strangers simultaneously.  It’s become almost a game. Getting to know a stranger. By getting him/her to talk about meaningful stuff.  More than small talk.  It’s more curiosity than anything. Anyway, that’s what the world needs. More true dialogue. –Jim Broede
