New York City

The city that does not wait for you to be ready.

I landed this morning and the city was already moving at a speed I had forgotten. Not loud, exactly. More like it has a frequency that gets into you before you have had a chance to decide if you want it to.

I like that about New York. It does not ask. It assumes you are here because you meant to be. And I was. I am.

More from here soon.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Standing on the Royal Mile in the rain, feeling completely, unexpectedly at home.

Edinburgh in November is not a city that tries to seduce you. The light is low. The stone is grey. The wind comes off the castle and finds every gap in whatever you are wearing.

And yet I did not want to leave. There is something honest about a place that shows you itself without decoration. I trust those places. I trust those people too.

Iceland

I chased the Northern Lights. They were not where I expected them to be. Neither was I.

We drove for two hours into nothing. Black road, black sky, the kind of silence that makes you aware of your own breathing. And then they appeared. Not dramatic at first. A faint green suggestion at the edge of the horizon.

Then everything. The whole sky, moving. I have seen beautiful things. I have been in rooms where the energy between people was something almost visible. This was like that, but the sky was doing it.

Some things you cannot create. You can only be in the right place to receive them.
