Standing still – occasional pace

Peoples passing glances

Momentary eye contact

Running potential conversations

Planning handshakes or hugs

Where to go, what to say

Informal Hi Excited Hello

Seconds drift into minutes

slipping away unnoticed

Upon arrival

Familiar greetings

Comfortable space

Conversation unrehearsed

Theory and thought

Teased out, explored, shared

Discovering why, Discovering who

Who was there – Will they always be
