I really don't often feel like I need to justify my friendships.
But I will take the opportunity to say something nice about a dwellar of whom I have always been fond, and who is getting a bit of stick at the moment (from myself as well I admit:P)
Ibby. We are such a bunch of oldies you know. But if I really, really try, I remember that kind of passion and absolute immersion in something I believed in. In a cause that was immediately felt and urgent. I find Ibby frustrating in discussions at times, but I rather suspect my younger self would prove just as frustrating. And who I am now would probably baffle or dismay my younger self.
The world needs Ibbies (:p). Whilst they’re learning how the world works, and learning how to move people, their learning curve is the energy behind a lot of change.
