Copenhagen 06/04/02 Christopher It has always been diï¬cult to decide what to say to people in new places. Cozier Places that I have never been to, or places that I never thought I would ever have the privilege (do not let that word slip by unheeded) of seeing or visiting. I often look at the BBC on the cable service at home and see images of large cities or antique ones with cobble stone streets, tall churches and people in heavy coats walking with a determined manner and then the opposite. Places like where I live and work. It is a remarkable thing to even think that one could communicate to anyone, anywhere, just so, just like that. There is a feeling of futility and doubt that comes over meâa sensation of anxiety and then relief. Relief if I manage to get a response or an acknowledgment indicating that I may have communicated something and that a dialogue is beginning or continuing. I said anxiety, because my primary instinctâperhaps derived from some process of historical conditioning?âis to withdraw. The anxiety is then about myself failing to respond, as well as a concern about responding without thinking my way
