Sitting in InSpiral in Camden waiting for people to turn up for my first Meet-up. There is a relaxed and safe feeling in here, music straight out of a chill-out room and the occasional whiff of Nag Champa.
I was initially told that I couldn’t reserve a space but when I got here the staff had held a table for me in the centre and are currently watching out for more space.
I have that house party nervousness that all hosts get. Ego is having a field day. Will anyone turn up? If they do will they be engaged? Quite the obvious package of worries.
Ooh big table just become free. Also a fortuitous sign.
But underneath it I know that it will play out as its meant to. The various players have already set their parts in motion.
Now it’s about hope, faith and trust.
