French term or phrase: complicité
Ich weiß, es gab schon 2x die Frage - passt aber nicht.
Es geht ganz allgemein um die Menschen, die ganz unterschiedliche Geschichten, Lebensläufe usw. haben:

Chaque jour, à chaque instant, sans se connaître, ils ne cessent de se croiser, de se rencontrer, le temps d’un geste, d’un regard, d’une complicité.

gleicher Gedanke


Explanation:
in diesem Kontext und nur hier würde ich es so formulieren:

... ihre Wege kreuzen sich, laufen zusammen, flüchtig, nur eine Geste, ein Blick, ein gleicher Gedanke

als Anregung; und wenn es vom Stil her passt.

Nach soviel Poesie brauche ich jetzt eine Tasse Tee!

agree  Gudrun Wolfrath: eine Geste, ein Blick, ein Gedanke (ohne "gleicher" würde ich es besser finden, schöne Lösung)//Zwei Menschen, ein Gedanke - die Gleichzeitigkeit ist für mich darin bereits enthalten.
