At the reception last night, I saw a couple of old people who were sitting at tables, staring off into nothing. It seemed to me they lacked the rhythm with the people around them, were no longer in sync. Perhaps they could not hear well enough. They were perhaps “in their own world.”
It was difficult to see the rhythms, the entrainment with all that activity. I need to train myself to look for these things.
Perhaps the stage tonight will reveal something. And people in the waiting area. I think the easier place to look may be when people are in conversation with one another, and the people around observing the conversation.
