Barcelona to Zermatt
There is a lost email. Madrid to Barcelona didn't make it out. It's somewhere, trying to reach you. But for now, there's this.
08:20 Barcelona--13:20 Lyon Part Deux
14:37 Lyon Part Deux--16:25 Geneva
17:30 Geneva--19:49 Visp
20:08 Visp--21:15 Zermatt
This is what I imagined when dreaming of interrailing. Acres of sky. Gradually shifting landscapes. Mountains that speak heart language. And in all of it, a sense of belonging. Or, more like, that the desire to belong melts away. There is only this.
The sunlight, as it aged, became sensational. It surprised me to note that many light-baggaged travellers drew curtains. How is it possible to shut out such a dazzling display?
The things we come to look over... I have an intense hope to dodge tiring. Of the open mouthed and hearted wonder that rock imbues me with. Of the glittering joy the sleepy good morning of my lover instills. Of the feeling that light breaking through cloud is a direct embrace. Of the delight a face kissed with rain brings. Of the gratitude for all the people that have touched my life, for the long haul and short, with depth and levity.
