9/01/22
First day of September 2022, Hella, Iceland
Skies are clearer today. Polite rainfall. No harsh winds.
Can actually see a horizon line this morning.
Wondering if ive been present enough on this trip.
Why did i come here?
Am i receiving what i traveled here for?
Looking at myself differently here. Paying attention to the folds in my skin, the wrinkles, valleys and ravines in this armor.
Thinking of endurance. The limit of the body. How my chest and chin brace the cold. How i can withstand it… where is the gray? At what point does endurance snap like a rubber band stretched too far?
Have i been present enough?
Is my phone distracting me…
The photographer in me always wanting to “capture”
How much of what i hold onto and am is taking away from what i ought to be?
8 hour drive today. Wishing future self luck.
