As I noted earlier today on Facebook...  Perpetual Motion Man began making hand motions like he was conducting an invisible orchestra and moving his arms like he was beckoning us all to come listen to the concert...  There were some who moved away from him, switching their seats.  His motions began when the 13 ground to a halt, stuck in traffic on Rt. 37.  His motioning became more frantic.  The longer we sat, he started laughing, "Heh, heh.  Hee HEE!"  More people changed seats.  At one point he rolled his eyes upward, making eye contact with me (I was sitting above him).  I smiled, trying to convey kindness and understanding.  (Was I successful???)  At that point, I had a feeling he was feeling anxious, but I did not know what to do.  I have ridden the 13 with him so many times, and have always kept an eye on him even though he has only ever made motions.  I have ridden the 13 with many others who I keep an eye on....  We are all on a moving tube.  What would we do if any one person SNAPPED?  We are all capable of snapping, I think.  Since Friday, we all still get on that moving tube; there are still those who get on who behave in ways that are outside the norm of public, social behavior.  We board with faith.  We board thinking we can just change seats.  I am here thinking about connecting.  Can I just go beyond smiling in what I hope is an understanding way?  Should I?  Will I change my seat to move TOWARDS Perpetual Motion Man next time?  Would that even make the difference, a connection?
