NY Planes
When travelling to a place
Especially when it implies flying
And even more so when flying to NY
The most resonant of cities in this
lifetime for me
When I fly out to NY
In the plane
On my way to
I get these sensations
An awareness of what’s coming
I guess also a letting go of the earth
Literally
And my earthly agenda
Business
Relationships
Involvements
So I always move with a sense of purpose
When flying to NY it is to meet the place
and some of its people
And the surprise it holds for me
My tribe is there
Or part of it at least
So I’m also going home
Returning from my home in exile
Where I happen to live
Antwerp
Belgium
So
I get this sense
This awareness
A sense of possibilities
Excitement
Surfing the waves
Letting myself be carried
In motion already
Yet suspended in mid air
Also
Then
When flying back to Belgium from my beloved NY
I enjoy the afterglow
Of yet another spacetime in the maelstrom
of beingdoing close to my void
My zero degree
Which happens to appear so easily in
that city
And yet again I afterglow and pre sense
Ask myself how to integrate these intense vibrations
With a sense of chagrin
Of leaving behind a part of me
yet having it change me each time again
