I am very excited about going to New York City. I was just on the phone
to my sister, who will be sharing my hotel for a few days, working out the
details. I wore her out with my effusiveness.

Tomorrow I'm buying a guidebook. I'm going to walk from dawn to dusk.
I'm going to inhale the city.

In such a short time, can I 'know' a place? Not deeply. But I'll see it refracted
through what I do know deeply, and those knowings will gain more dimensions.

And everything I think I know, in future, will be tantalised by the bright
shifting form of what I might know someday.
