two weeks ago in a frustrated strung out artistic guy in a corporation can't find bandmates how much for a pressing of 500cds? damn women, damn whiskey, damn cold where is the sun... way I cashed in my hoard of frequent flyer miles and I am bording a plane in a bit for a solo trip to Barcelona.
My friends reactions to my trip have been mixed either; "wait wa huh? by yourself??? weird." or "Awesome you are gonna soak it up"
Of course I am a little anxious about a solo trip, but excited for a week in a country that I will be discovering with a guide book, my wandering exploration, and a hungry heart... ready to soak in the experience.
Complete disconnection from the day to day, everyday strings that try to tie me more firmly to where I am, and what they want.
Disconnect from my concerns, my immediate wants, and the wall infront of my face. A perspective change, an opening of my mind, and hopefully a moment of clarity on the moment I now live in and the directions I should and want to take.
We will see, but the more I think of it the more I am hungry for such a journey and this anxious waiting... builds.. Plus I am flying on lufthansa and will get to try out my german ;-)

So Here I am, last minute laundry, music blaring, and sorting through what I want to bring and what I have room for in my wee bag.
The journey ahead
anticipation
unexpectating
hopeing

Hemmingway's Spain awaits
The cafes, bullfights, ocean air, captivating veiws, inspiring art, welcoming people.

Comments:
