The city skyline was hazy yet imposing on the horizon ahead.
"Just look," my dad said, peering up from behind the wheel. I did look. And what struck me more than anything else was that I wouldn't see that sight again for two whole months. Two whole months of being inside the city.
During that time, I am supposed to get to know the city, to understand its dynamics, people, neighborhoods. It will be my home.
This isn't a few days. This is an entire summer.
I love the entrenchment that both this entry and your blog title convey.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you will feel when you see the skyline retreating instead of growing.
