“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a walker, one who makes sense of the world by strolling it. Some have stared at the screen too long, some have grown claustrophobic with oneself; the rhythmic motion of an easy stride helps to separate us from the ruts of our current preoccupations and allows us to wander more freely through elected regions of our inner landscape. Love Lane in Penang, a place that has unfolded some the best moments for me to date. You know that phrase Christopher Isherwood uttered in A Single Man? It goes like this: “A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It’s as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.” That’s kind of how it is.”
