I love walks like this, the last leg of a long journey to a soccer stadium; you take purposeful, determined, anxious steps, and you take them first as an individual, until, almost without noticing it, something changes, and you're walking as part of a collective.
You feel purposeful energy humming in the air as you watch the inhabitants stroll through the maze of streets and lanes, arm in arm.
Whom and what this day is about is certainly not up for debate, buuut..... as part of an ensemble you'll be more distracting by trying to be invisible than if you make purposeful choices.
It may not even necessarily make you a "purposeful" racist.
Not hostile, mind you, but purposeful: State Senator Lori Klein was proudly showing off her piece.
It reinforces your interest in the post while making you seem purposeful, determined, and open to feedback.
What makes you feel purposeful?
"You want to feel useful, you want to feel purposeful, you want to feel generous," she says.
I will face it as it comes because I think it is a job where you have to be purposeful and you have to stay strong.
And while you are at it, you can look purposeful, annoyed and important, like everyone else who seems to be hurrying just to arrive at an unremarkable, gum-stained spot.
