Flowing
No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Martin Luther King, Jr (1963)

Stimulation
The smell of coffee in the morning is great incentive to wake up for the day. Drinking a cup o’ joe which has such pleasant flavor makes life worth living. And coffee gets one moving, and you know: moving is good for you.

Strike pointed back up the hill down which they had just driven. Robin ducked her head so that she could see what had caught his attention. A gigantic prehistoric white chalk figure had been cut into the hillside. To Robin it resembled a stylised leopard.
Lethal White, Robert Galbraith
On the second day of her hunting, as she was returning from the chase, and was arrived within a little distance from Mr Western’s house, her horse, whose mettlesome spirit required a better rider, fell suddenly to prancing & capering in such a manner that she was in the most imminent peril of falling.
Tom Jones, who was at a little distance behind, saw this, and immediately galloped up to her assistance. As soon as he came up, he leapt from his own horse, and caught hold of hers by the bridle.
The unruly beast presently reared himself an end on his hind legs, and threw his lovely burthen from his back, and Jones caught her in his arms.

Thomas Dolby – She Blinded Me With Science (YouTube )
A pretty name as one would wish to read, must perch harmonious on my tuneful quill.
There’s music in the sighing of a reed; there’s music in the gushing of a rill; there’s music in all things, if men had ears: their Earth is but an echo of the spheres.
Don Juan by Lord Byron

Expectation
Though tonight she’s made me sad.
If I find her I’ll be glad.
I still love her.I don’t wanna spoil the party so I’ll go.
I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party by The Beatles (1964)
I would hate my disappointment to show.
There’s nothing for me here, so I will disappear.
If she turns up while I’m gone, please let me know.
There’s no fun in what I do, if she’s not there.
But I think I’ll take a walk and look for her.

Mark Singer: Is there anything you’ve been able to draw upon, David? Is there comfort in the past?
David Milch : I feel the past falling away and the attachments of regret for what wasn’t done or was done badly or was done without sufficient sympathy, and it was for that reason that our granddaughter’s visit was such a redemptive and compelling occurrence. Everything is an adventure for her and a delight and a surprise, an opening up, and that’s a big gratification.
Mark Singer: I’ve never thought of you as a sentimental person, but maybe I misread that. How would you characterize yourself?
David Milch: As an unsentimental person.

Viewpoint
Downtown in the last century was characterized as an industry hub. Since the pandemic, remote work has isolated people.
New lure for cities are the central social districts. Restaurants, coffee shops, and coworking spaces add robust connectivity to a city’s economy.
