As those who know me will testify I am a huge fan of music, literally any music, I will listen to anything.
So this little story is about an album I bought a couple of years ago! It was a complete impulse buy I’d never
heard of the band or had a clue what the music was like.
But I bought it anyway just for the way it was presented and these words that are written in the sleeve.
In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.
We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.
(Mark Strand 1963)
So I love this little poem and think it fits in well with the whole travelling theme and perhaps why people travel the world.
P.S if you want to listen to the band who actually wrote and made this beautiful album you can here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cvoAdbtVMI
