Picture Prompt Friday - "Say you; say me..."

“When you take the time to actually listen, with humility, to what people have to say, it's amazing what you can learn.” 
― Greg Mortenson, Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan


There is something about the red telephone box which has gone beyond the simple practicality of making a call, and has embedded itself in the imagination.  The little glass world houses a collective wealth of private communication, but the age of cell-phones has rendered them obsolete.  If you search Google images for these telephone booths, you will find so many inspiring pictures. I have selected three which stood out for me.

“You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.” 
― C. JoyBell C

“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.” 
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“How would your life be different if…You pretended those around you were deaf to your words? Let today be the day…You let your actions speak and communicate your feelings and intentions.” 
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

There is no prescription for this prompt, just the pictures themselves and the ideas which are generated.

While researching the history of the red telephone box, I came across this very interesting article which I'd like to share HERE.
