I yearn to stay in this in-between place, where the beauty of the times I have freshly bade goodbye to is still alive and vivid in my mind – almost real – and the reality of my new circumstances has yet to fully sink in. I listen to the familiar melodies that had accompanied me on my journey, and allow the music to evoke landscapes and scenes in my mind. The songs caress my sub-consciousness and fill my being with an airy joy. I am both here and elsewhere. Or perhaps I am everywhere and nowhere. At least for one moment longer. There was something magical about not saying your final farewell, like a door left open in the chill night. Fleeting as a breath, yet filled with life, unlike anything I've ever inhaled before.
