For me, there’s no greater pleasure in life than having a random conversation with a complete stranger. On the fly. On an esoteric theme. On cue. I was reminded of this recently on a short trip with the ride service Lyft. Noticing what I surmised to be a deep African accent, I asked the driver where his home of origin was. With a big toothy grin, he turned to me and enthusiastically responded
I’m so looking forward to sitting down and talking with Michael on Wednesday. I have to admit I think I am looking forward to it more than he is. I’m looking forward to his wit and intellect in this unusual time now more than ever. We communicated about this last meeting last Sunday and within 48 hours I had The Second Mountain on my kitchen table. I feel the need to brush up so I can keep up.
Oof, I have some reading to do and some words to look up. Wonderful piece and I'm with you on random conversations--you often learn universal truths, hear wonderous ideas, and invariably, a stimulating conversation has me writing down ideas for topics I can write about later.
