Playing The Piano With A Stranger

Do you ever think how two people can just merge into one when no one is looking? I was watching a LinkedIn video about how two random strangers came together playing a piano. They didn’t know each other, they didn’t know if one would appreciate and respect the other, they just played. And you know what, it was beautiful.

In today’s world, coming together is not so common. Why is that? Fear? Not knowing what will happen?

Taking risk is not as welcomed as it used to be. To many people put a fear in us, unfortunately, that now we feel we have to question every move we make.

Why? Fear again? Not knowing the now?

I refuse to live like that. I want to be known, I want to walk up to a stranger and play the piano with them. (It won’t be pretty, but at least they would know I care and want to be part of their experience.) Is it an intrusion? Yes, most likely. But will I have a smile on my face and use my body language to let them know I mean no harm? Yes.

Why? Because I can. We all can. Coming together is what is lacking right now, and I would like to put it out there that I don’t want to be part of that separate movement. I want people to know they can trust me and that I will trust them.

How do you trust people? How comfortable are you in today’s world going up to a stranger and joining them in playing the piano?

I bet you want to try. Go ahead, try. Let’s make changes in a positive way. Let’s embrace the change and move us toward playing together again and not apart.

Just my thoughts, and I do like to share my thoughts.
