Waiting for the Eternal Now
I am leaving for Iceland today, my 10th trip in 26 years.
No special agenda this time. I’ll be catching some musical acts, to be sure, as well as theatre and morning soaks and chats with the locals in the geothermal-heated outdoor pools. Looking back on some images from my previous Icelandic trips, I was struck with the feeling that ‘ordinary’ scenes are just as memorable as ‘special’ ones. My sojourns there have become an ‘alternate reality’, not exactly an escape but, rather, a chance to let existence wash over me without any preconceived notions about its meaning, and without those notions overwhelming my direct apprehension of the Eternal Now.
Daily updates start on tomorrow and continue for the duration of the trip.
