And yes, the hustle and bustle of this vast airport takes my mind to a standstill. This is just one of several I've passed through as I came and went places that transported me not only physically but psychologically, culturally, and spiritually as well.
Such personal enrichment covered not only nuances in sights like the Petronas, the Eiffel, the Rhine, .... not only the Red Hills of Colorado nor the Rice Terraces of Banawe nor the Alps of Salzburg, ...but also sights like the Neuschwanstein Castle, the Louvre, the Dubai Burj, Singapore's Fountain of Wealth - oh God, just a tip off the iceberg!
Not to miss out on the Wat Phra Singh, (not the biggest in Thailand yet) nor Hong Kong's Po Lin... much less the Great Cologne Cathedral - if only to touch a bit on religious diversity. Or Malaysia's reverence for multi-ethnicity in language, among other things. I would also think of flight as portals to renewed relationships: friendship and family ties, as well as introductions to new ones - friendships and family ties!
Airports do start off thought ramblings like these in me. Myism, in fact, quips of relative jet lag to the max in a straight flight from CA to MN to NY to London to Amsterdam to Dubai to Bahrain! Wow! I had two ways of responding to this: I couldn't have survived this! - and I want to try it! :) But seriously, whenever I am in an airport just to pick up friends or family, I complain to myself, why am I not the one traveling?
