PROMPT: Travel. How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?
bike: around town
(mostly back & forth to work)
car: around the area
(visiting friends/family in WI/IL/MN)
plane: around the country and to another one
(Ireland and PA for work and Mexico for fun)
writing: around the mind
(a future trip to India and back into some of those little closets)
books: around the world
(Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie took me to The Thing Around Your Neck in Nigeria, V.S. Naipaul was my escort to A Bend in the River, Wally Lamb took me inside York Prison and Harriet Lerner led the tour through Anger & Intimacy).
2011 will consist of the same modes of transportation, but new destinations and travel guides added to the old.
“…any life I might have anywhere…would only be a version of the life I lived now…I knew there was more to me than my setting and routine showed. I knew there was something that separated me from Ferdinand and the life of the bush about me. And it was because I had no means in my day-to-day life of asserting this difference, of exhibiting my true self, that I fell into the stupidity of exhibiting my things.” ~V.S. Naipaul, A Bend in the River
