program notes draft ?

All manuals are insufficient. There are many things illustrations leave out. Like time, for one example.
Time is also distance.
Montreal is 5 hours away. Croatia is 12. My apartment is twenty minutes.
Is this also true of the distance between people? Is it too dependant on the mode of travel?

Any manual must assume strangeness, unfamiliarity.
How do we meet?
People come together, some for the first time, others not.
How much time is required? Or maybe - what kind of time?
When meeting someone new, remember to smile.
When doing something strange, it's best to be relaxed.
