On Arriving And Departing

Barcelona Estacio de Franco     October 2019

Numbered platforms, nameless people.

Coming and going as they please, or as they must.

For every departure, an arrival.

Many journeys.

From a short distance I observe those on the platforms coming and going.

I am a stranger here, but am a fellow journey maker, so there is a momentary affinity of sorts.

Even the sweeping ironwork of the grand station roof speaks of the lines and curves of travel.

There is wonderment in such a place, but always anticipation of the next destination.

For we must keep moving…
