In Taizé when...


when you favorite colour is orange...
when you don't leave home after 11.30pm...
when the only colours in your closet are beige and blue...
when you know the words "disciple" and "Holly Spirit" in almost every language...
when you eat everything with a spoon...
when you can tell how long it will take untill the next prayer just by the strenght of the smell of incense...
when you know the days of the week just by the songs they sang...
when you think that the floor is more comfortable than a chair...
when you can only remember the words in english...
when you organize your books five by five...
when you are in a normal church and you wounder why are there benches...
when you wear sandals in the winter...
when you make a list like this one...
when you meet someone new and instead of asking the city they came from you ask for the zip-code...
when you only know your friends' surnames by the initials...
when you think that "fork" is a funny word...
when you say how tall you are in Taize books...
when you wounder why are people speaking during Friday's lunch...
when you can say 'enjoy your meal' in every language of the world...
when they no longer give you the 'welcome'...
when you start every speach with 'is english okay for everybody?'...
when you wounder why is the mass in english/polish/german/portuguese every sunday...
when you use 'come on' and 'ma che!' in every sentence...
when you think it is strange that everybody is speaking your language...
when you feel weird for sleeping alone in your bedroom...
when you prefer candles to electricity,..
when you know the songs between 1 and 230 by heart...
when you try to bribe other people with cookies...
when you think that 5 is a sharing group...
when you wounder why does the salesman allows you to buy 4 bags of chips...
when the courtins of your room are orange...
when you know the menu for all the week...
when you know by heart "commitment of a brother"...
when you wounder why do you have the same job every week...
when you think it is funny that on sundays one third of your friends leaves...
when you can tell the country of a person at first sight...
when, just by looking at the tittle, you can tell the name of the brother that is giving the workshop...
when you dress in white in the church ;)
