last meal

The AGIS workshop ends with the thunderous rabbling-rumble of loud knuckles on desktops. Frieder later remarks on the enthusiasm judged from the volume that reached his office. I tell the participants that I have to record this social phenomena sometime as it is … different … a particular culture-specific way of applause-feedback-energy! Starting with a mid-morning breakfast, I am surprised that the discussion continues unabated right up to 1600 today. Last year there was an exhausted fizzle after the Thursday happening, so that Friday was a few closing comments and some debriefing, a collective lunch at one long table in the Mensa, and then departures. Matter of fact, I think I took an evening train to Kiel to C&S’s place to catch a plane to Helsinki a day or so later. Cycles. Orbits, gravity. This year, an equivalent level of energy, different forms. Students here actively engage their desire for ideas and relevant pathways.
