What is your current
state of mind?
Autumn transports me. I look forward to hibernation and
coziness. Forward. Once the leaves begin to fall and blanket the ground with
crispy colors and fill the air with that sweet familiar scent, nostalgia
arrives. Nostalgia is comfort. It is known. Childhood memories of tree-lined
Brooklyn streets. 349 Carlton Avenue. 718.622.7976. Backward. Another lifetime.
Pero me pregunto, What about right now? This
moment. Now. Consciousness grounds me momentarily until I dive down into
the dank underworld of Franklin and Eastern Parkway. Moving through city
streets and subways makes me anxious. Too many people. Too much noise. I plug
my ears with music. La voz de Jorge Drexler soothes. And transports me away
again. Backwards and forwards. Backwards and forwards.
