Theme B
Out on the street. It's no longer a high-rise area; now the buildings are attractive, expensive, single-story offices, rough dark wood. I get in the driver's seat (?) of a (?) small minivan. A bunch of young, dark-skinned (?) men pile in, noisily, excited and joking. (Feelings) [No notes] Frazzled? Curious about and kind of enjoying the joking around. But maybe I also feel put-upon
The younger woman who led the seminar and the man rush past in a bright-colored (green? red?) Citröen, squeezing dangerously between us and the curb, having fun. (Feelings) I enjoy the excitement. [Illegible] of danger outweighed by being impressed by the woman's style.
Comments from the artist:
Citröen, red or green - (8/2/05, immediate) I have no idea where this came from. I did a bit of Googling and couldn't find any meaning other than just the car (although it certainly has fans).
(11/10/05, revised) Bringing Montague Ullman to his IASD / Friends of the Institute of Noetic Sciences talk this evening, Emily driving her SUV—as we drove down the West Side Highway, Monte teased Emily about driving like a taxi driver. It was a pretty wild ride, dodging in and out between lanes in a big hurry, and Monte—although holding on tight with both hands—said he was having a great time. He said that’s the route he took to work for so many years when he headed the psychiatry department and ran his sleep lab at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn..
For some reason, I asked him what kind of car he drove. He said a Citroen!! He loved that car. Emily asked what color it was, and was surprised he couldn’t remember the color of a car he loved. He said it was either red or green.
