I REMEMBER TRAVEL

by Mike Starling

Weird Scenes Inside the Security Line

1/8/2021

 
Lately I find myself caught up in these disquieting, recurring travel dream scenarios. 

In every instance everything is going along swimmingly and then there is yet another in a long line of stupendously creative acts of procrastination/getting lost/total lack of time awareness on my part. Just at the apex of anxiety when everything is about to hit the fan and any chance of making my plane / train / rickshaw / whatever connection seems unavoidably doomed, I wake up and… I’m not going ANYWHERE
.

My initial reaction is relief. Then, as it sets in, it's more like awwwwww...


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
​Born in a small Wisconsin blue-collar town, Mike Starling ditched the assembly line for a long, sometimes circuitous career working with words, sound and images. His original music is heard on numerous recordings and soundtracks, and his stories and photos have been featured in books, films, mags and other media. Among his other interesting career moves, he has edited a beer magazine, played bass in a reggae band and sold potato chips door-to-door. Inspired by the life-altering events of 2020, he launched a year-long web-based project called I Remember Travel in January 2021.
