I was thinking about the conference last week, the one in the city by the river. The air had that crisp, early morning quality, the kind that makes you feel like anything is possible. I remember walking from the hotel to the convention center, the so
und of my shoes on the pavement a steady rhythm against the quiet hum of the waking city. A barista at a corner shop was setting out chairs, and we exchanged a nod. It’s funny the small moments that stick with you, the unspoken connections. The pre
sentation itself went well, but what I recall more vividly is the conversation afterward with a colleague from the west coast. We talked about sustainable design principles, not in the abstract, but in the context of community gardens and local libra
ries. He described a project that used reclaimed timber for shelving, and the way the light fell through high windows onto the finished product. It was a detailed, passionate description that had nothing to do with budgets or timelines, just pure app
reciation for material and form. Later, I found a small notebook left behind in the session room. It was plain, black, with a few pages of very neat, geometric sketches. I turned it in at the front desk, wondering about the person who drew them. Were
they ideas for a product, or just a way to pass the time The hotel staff were courteous, taking the book with a promise to keep it in lost and found. On the flight home, I watched the landscape change from clustered city grids to patchwork fields, t
he clouds casting slow-moving shadows. My seatmate was reading a novel with a dog-eared cover. We didn’t speak, but it was a comfortable silence, each of us in our own world yet sharing the same space, the same journey. I thought about how travel i
s made of these layers—the purpose, the place, and the quiet observations in between. The keycard from the hotel is still in my bag, a blue plastic rectangle. I should probably recycle it.

The workshop was scheduled for three days, but the most interesting part happened on the evening of the second day. We had finished the group activities and several people decided to take a walk along the waterfront. The path was lined with old-fashi
oned lamp posts that cast a warm, circular glow on the pavement. Someone pointed out a constellation, and for a few minutes, we all just looked up, trying to trace the lines between stars. A couple was sailing a small, remote-controlled boat in the r
eflecting pool, its red and green lights blinking as it zipped across the dark water. We talked about nothing in particular—favorite books, a documentary about deep-sea exploration, the best method for brewing coffee while camping. One person, a gr
aphic designer from a small town, described the process of creating a mural for a local school, how the children submitted drawings of their favorite animals and she incorporated them into a larger scene. She spoke about the texture of the exterior p
aint, how it looked different in the morning light versus the afternoon. It was a level of detail you don’t often hear in everyday conversation. Later, back at the hotel, I saw the night manager helping an elderly guest with their luggage. The inte
raction was patient and kind, a simple moment of service that felt genuine. In my room, I opened the window a crack to let in the cool night air. The distant sound of traffic was like a gentle, constant wave. I thought about how these professional ga
therings are as much about the space between the meetings as the meetings themselves. The shared meals, the casual walks, the exchange of small stories that have nothing to do with the agenda. It’s in those spaces that you sometimes learn the most,
not about business, but about the people you’re sharing the experience with. The next morning, the sunrise was spectacular, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. I made a note to myself to remember that view, the quiet city beneath it, an
d the sense of calm it brought before the day’s final sessions began.
