I ask people for comments about the seminar. Tatiana, who teaches high school physics in addition to taking university classes, suggests that the slides using scientific examples be more carefully worded. Nadyezhda, who always asked intriguing questions after each lecture, talks about her work as a child psychologist at a research institute in Moscow. I urge them to continue searching for truth and developing their spiritual life. Tatiana and her brother Alexei, a mathematics student, sit and look out the window.
People stretch out for naps.
Last night's bus chorale becomes today's train chorale, and we sing softly so as not to awaken our elderly companion in the compartment. Anyway, it's too hot to sleep. An unkempt man stretches out on the top bunk. Occasionally he climbs down and walks off down the passageway. Various combinations of people sit and chat.
