I’ve never felt unsettled in all my life. At least I think that’s what that was. I have been in India for a majority of my breathing, heart-beating phase. There have not been many opportunities for me to be out of my element. I did well, I thought. I had the comfort of the people I’d grown used to and food that had just the right dash of home.
We all pride ourselves in being masters of things. Some are well-read or well-slept. Others can recognise wines by their odours and people by their warmth. I am addicted to familiarity. Ten seconds later, I like being thrown off the trail in the hope that I’ll mysteriously find my way back on it.
I love living in Washington. It’s only been 4 months. But I want to find that usual place I end up in. I won’t force the tide…I can’t; but I know it will be okay.
If you want me to send you a postcard saying “HI!!”, send me your snail mail address to eeekster@gmail.com
I’ve never been to Seattle — only seen lots of pictures, and on TV, but my folks visit nearly every year and its the one place (of the many places they visit and tell me about) that I REALLY want to see. That, and NYC. The rest of the USA can go take a hike.
You must have a sibling here then (or something). Seattle is lovely and you have to visit but preferably in the 2 months of summer we have. It’s a pity that it’s not on the same side as NYC because that is also one of my favourites. Though I think if I go to San Francisco, the bells of joy might start ringing.
Okay, confession, i forgot about SFO. Yes SFO too.. so much so that I am considering going here, if I can cough up some money..http://www.tantemarie.com/
