1. Sitting in one place for too long can lead to discomfort and a feeling of being stuck. The physical and mental manifestation of pain that alters our relationships with others.
2. It’s not the sedentary lifestyle, I swear! Forest gods can attest. The struggle arises from the linear nature of the language. I hear too much without the ability to respond much.
3. Unsure of what I’ll rediscover about myself and the world, I pack all my burdens. ‘Cause I don’t wish to confront them again upon my return.
4. Eagerness is the boldness to move and break free from the status quo, venture into uncharted territories, and the openness to embrace being a stranger in someone’s home.
5. Crossing is the sheer momentum of moving my body across the Baltic sea.
6. Interferences are elusive boundaries, as countries attempt to regulate the movement of people.
7. Transgressions are minor offences by fellow travellers who sneeze and cough at will, spreading the virus.
8. Movement is not always about going forward or following a straight path. At times, you go in circles searching for something you can only find when you listen with your whole body.
9. I soon abandon the idea that the world is indifferent. Vilnius and Krakow wear their hearts on the sleeves, calling for war criminals to face music at The Hague.
10. For a moment, I forget the weight of the heavy loss I’m carrying. Friends are dying faster than I can process grief. And I keep asking myself how to make the most of this precious life of mine!
11. A way of looking at movement depends on where one focuses their attention, for human perception selectively perceives and ignores certain aspects of the scene.
12. Travel has become less about the best or worst of. It’s to see the world afresh and savour good experiences.
13. Rarely does movement solve all problems, yet we can infer its healing nature.
