You know, one of the reasons I love being in Rome so much, one of the reasons I’m spending less time in big cities and more time in small villages is, I long for connection, I long to walk streets where people still look at you in the eye and gently smile or say, “Good morning”, or they say, “[foreign language 00:00:21]”, or they say, “Namaste”, or they say, “Buenos dias”, or they say, “Buongiorno” like the great Italians do.
One of the reasons I love the south of Italy is, people still hold their heart in their hand as they go through their days. One of my favorite people on the planet lives in Puglia, and his name is Franco. And Franco and Gabriele are two of my closest friends, even though I don’t see them very often. And every day at the end of the day, Franco’s whole family shows up at his amazing restaurant and they talk. What a concept! They have conversations.
So connection is so important to being fully alive. Dial that in. It’ll be so great for your pro life, your personal life, your inner life.
