"Before parting Matt suggests a silent prayer. We stand in circle and in the silence I reflect how beautiful it would be to have all corners of the city, of all cities, periodically liberated from the evil eye of rushing, competing, struggling by magic artists like those around me now. In fact, I dream briefly of an arrangement by which, in my ideal world of federated communities, each community would nurture its artists who would perform in squares, gardens, libraries and with their performances help all community members to enhance their perception of themselves and of the bonds that keep together a healthy community. They would contribute to make both individuals and their communities whole and happy. And they would heal the communities when conflicts shake them. I dream more but I realise some of those dreams take me too far from this moment so I raise my eyes and I meet those of the others in turn. It is not something we do very often in our cities, to look in each other’s eyes, to lock ourselves in looks which are not threatening, that do not convey menace but a desire and an attempt to discover the other so that she or he can mirror our selves and help us discover their nature and possibilities."
