Another muffin sighting. And another one for John!
The reason I say 'sort of' is that the person in question is Riku, a Finnish scholar in the third year of his PhD who is here in Ireland for the year doing his work. Unlike my previous muffin sightings, I have really gotten to know Riku. We emailed before the Antigone conference because he was interested in volunteering. And then we met at the conference and within two weeks he was part of our postgrad circle of friends.
The reason I finally made this entry is because I still feel the similarities between them. I mean, they are different people, but they have similar facial expressions, wit and intelligence. Riku is another one of those people with whom I can have an intense conversation about Levinas then laugh loudly at his understated jokes and then just sit quietly while we enjoy the world in that moment.
So he and John are distinctly different, but more similar than not. Maybe both made with bittersweet chocolate and nuts, but with different kinds of fruit inside them.
