THE JOURNEY-
Travelling alone with eyes peeled.
.. a wide eyed alertness I notice
when I'm working. It does feel as if the eyes have
a layer less and are that little more exposed and
therefore receptive.

London
Atlanta
Santiago (Chile)
Ushuaia (Argentina)
Antarctica

As distance grew between me and home
there came a point (on the way to Atlanta) when I
felt discomfort at being in 2 places in my head. I
adjusted my watch to local time and became 'present'.
Much simpler.

Santiago, Chile
Hyatt Hotel. Sunset from
bedroom. In evening menacing clouds building over Andes.
Double rainbow. Black sky. Drenched Indian wedding party
sparking with rain and with the flickering of hundreds
of candles. Strongly lit high rise buildings against
storm. Roads become rivers and traffic wades on. |
