Freedom is elusive
It had been a wandering kind of day - I seemed to have travelled further in some ways, yet completely lagging behind in others. My thoughts took independent paths of their own, a jumble between last night's episode (ta, Dan) of "The Secret Life of Us", speeches by Breton, morality, freedom and faint images of nurses in pale pink uniforms. And what are you supposed to think when a right-wing candidate was assassinated in the Netherlands?
"The Internet Is For Everyone" (ta, Karl), but it wasn't because of that that I ended up finding a somewhat old list of references on reading Chinese on non-Windows platforms, or The Unihan Database search engine which provided a bit of geek entertainment.
I knew even before he came into sight, when I heard his music which was very deliberately floating up the street and mingling with the city's restlessness, that he had not had a good day. We talked for a while, and somewhere in between the day's complaints and foggy dreams of days ahead, a bright yellow tram rolled by and its advertising made us laugh. I said I would come back and say hello over the next day or two, because we might not see each other again for a very long time.
