Blink

Oslo, 2010



















In the blink of an eye, we have grown older.

Seen other parts of the globe.

Sampled fine port in Lisbon, the colour of the fortified wine a golden burnish which I cannot do justice to in my description.

A moment.
Between a step.
And the next.
A turn of my head.
And first sight of the Sagrada Familia, yet incomplete but completely otherworldly.

We walked - in Europe, in Asia.

Somewhere on the Nakasendo, hospitality from the caretaker of a rest house.

O-cha, pickled radish, folk songs and the accidental company of fellow walkers, meeting at that point in time at the rest house on the way to Somewhere.

A blink in time, moments on the road.

Time passes, sights savoured.
