tours and adventures, to meet up and chat, walking and talking, all sounds great

conferences and speeches sounds boring though

anarchists came to town and said what was needed to get through the day

i remember some phrases that stood out:
-remember: hope is a prison (to which i responded in bafflement “and despair is freedom?”)
-the garbage men aren’t coming
(which was i knew at the time was untrue in the strictly literal sense, but the profound point was still true, relevant and poignant, which is why i didn’t insist, and acknowledged the correction/lesson)
-we won’t leave until it’s empty (said in less words, and carried more by a stern look which softened as i made evident i did not oppose and found that course of action very agreeable)
-i like them because they don’t give up (said by a child that was rolling with us)

the gestures and actions spoke far more than the sparing words though

of course i also remember the thanks and goodbyes

travelling, movement, “touring” and adventure is a necessity. how else will we meet? what else can we do together?
