The Terminal

The airport terminal is one of the most perfect and prolific environments for the study or observation of human behavior. Its closeness and precisely appointed space provides the casual observer with an overwhelming amount of witnessed experiences in a very short amount of time. Whether it be the soldier going away to Iraq for his second tour embracing his wife whose eyes are slowly flooding then internal levee breaking unleashing an outpouring of emotion while trying to capture every part of him in this moment, so that when he's away she can turn to these memories for comfort.

 As one peers into this environment and is still in mind and body he or she can feel the movement surround them, as if treading lightly in deep water. The energy of the volumes of travelers is undoubtedly apparent. In some instances I have been a passenger or piloting an aircraft that descends into a destination that has poignantly welcoming bright energy and others that exude a cold somber essence. It must be then the sum of all those traveling, have traveled to and have occupied these spaces that create the mood.

 Be the light you wish to see, so that when someone down the line descends upon your space they will feel welcome and reflect all that is good in you.
