낯선 도시

"And then something happened, something that is hard to describe.

Sitting there, alone in a foreign country, far from my job and all the people I knew,

a feeling came over me.

As if I recalled something, something that I had never known and for which I had been waiting.

But I didn't know what it was.

Maybe it was something I had forgotten.

Or something I had missed my whole life.

I can only tell you that at the same time I felt joy and sadness.

But not a great sadness.

Because I felt alive.

Yes.

Alive."

사진은 내가 저 대사를 공감하게 만드는 경험을 제공했던 시카고 밀레니엄 파크에서 찍은 사진.
나도 그때 뭔가 모를 감정을 경험했다.
