Re-seeing the city


"Pay attention to your dreams: when you go on a trip, in your dreams you will still be home. Then after you've come home you'll dream of where you were. It's a kind of jet lag of the consciousness." Barbara Kingsolver

At night I wander the city streets, wait for the subway and find myself in a mash-up of many locations as my consciousness overcomes the jet lag. I'm left with this craving which my rational brain know is unreasonable. But there it is....I'm longing to return to the city, pestered by this feeling of unfinished business. I'm sure as time flows onward, I'll readjust. But for now I keep this picture as my desktop background to satisfy my appetite for right angles, straight lines and oppressive concrete.
