why am I here?
Mar. 25th, 2020 11:42 amI don't mean "why am I on Dreamwidth?" I'm HERE to stay in touch with the rasff diaspora and its friends and relations.
The question is "Why am I living next to Boston?" and the answer to that is that it's a city where people live fairly close together, and I can walk to many of the places where I want to go and take public transit to others. I can be welcome in several overlapping communities. There are lots of people I don't really know, but we smile and nod and say good morning at the bus stop or passing on the sidewalk. I feel surrounded by a vague network of friendliness in a way I wasn't, where everybody traveled by car.
In other words, I love this city because it's a place where large numbers of people breathe on each other. Oops.
