new york.

is my destination. departing in 12 hours. this will be my first trip to the infamous city. there is definitely a sense of excitement. although a sense of hesitation. sometimes we have these images in our head of a certain place. and we like those images. they are images of a place unknown... a place that has yet to be experienced. in my case, new york city.


all images will be laid to rest, though. i must experience 'place'. i must go. to see the sights. and smell the smells. to understand what it means to stand in times square. to interact with place.

there is definitely excitement in that. i think sometimes we try to hold on to those 'ideal' images of place... or ideal 'images' of people. we cannot continue in that pattern, though. i do not agree with the hesitation i mentioned earlier. we have to go to find out. we have to open up to know. we have to experience others to share. ...

in these experiences.
