July 16th, 1995
Walt asks George about what is driving him right now… they talk about the value about having something that pushes them forward… changes for Walt since he cannot be as physical as he was before his heart attack… being comfortable is not what drives Walt-the opposite… his physical focus has moved from building to long walks that he uses to think about people and things that should be fine-even if he needs to get others to do it… thinking without action is bullshit but so is action without thinking… discussion about the launching of Hilltop Neighborhood House and turning leadership over to others-hoping that they will continue to be responsive to beat down people… significant talking about how do we live differently that encourages citizenship (shared living, new approaches to education)...truth is not “the facts”-- they are always in tension… he must walk with all people who are striving for freedom but also be upfront with asking questions and raising lessons of history.
