In Transit
I don't know if other people are the same way, but many of the happiest times in my life have been spent on the way from one place to another. There's something incredibly peaceful to me about being in transit by myself, especially on a train. Maybe it's the anonymity and the lack of a need to "be" anyone in particular. Maybe it's the excuse to be unproductive and let your thoughts drift. Maybe it's the changing scenery outside. Or the passivity of letting someone else take over for a while and take you to your destination. Whatever the case, being on the way is one of my favorite states of being. Today was a good day in all ways. Slow train to Busan, movie with Lee, shopping alone, eating with Peter Starr, and then a KTX on back to Gyeongju. This picture is me specifically reflected in the window of the KTX, waiting for the short ride to Singyeongju. I had a hunch today might be a better day.
