We spent a whole lot of time in the hospital cafeteria. Talking, staring, analyzing the food… I actually like cafeteria atmosphere: no-nonsense, industrial, impersonal, with an unlikely mix of people from the opposites sides of every spectrum, unexpectedly grouped by theme. In schools, it’s learning. In hospitals, it’s health. Cafeterias are always a reassuring reminder that no matter how isolated with may feel, we still have common ground with someone, somewhere out there, perhaps at the table right next to ours.
