Mind Speak

I remember when you sat across the room from me while I was reading and you were sketching in your notebook. The whole house was so quiet, and I remember feeling like I shouldn’t move or say a word out of fear of breaking the moment. Maybe those kinds of things were not that important to you, but my happiest memories were always just the two of us quietly living our lives together, each in our little corner, interacting in an implied love.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
