The luxury of knowledge

In Edinburgh for part of the day, an event held in one of those places you only get to see if you are 'in the know', part of the establishment.

My boss couldn't go so they got me instead. And it was fascinating to be there, to poke around, and listen. Generous and hospitable they were.

But I felt strong sense of 'other', those elsewhere, of which in fact, I am one. By geography, wealth, politics, age and most other things that matter.

People have their circles and its nice to overlap into other folk's. I came away with some new knowledge, which is all you can ask for.
