ever really get homesick for an idea? i once took a trip across canada, raising money for ALS, and today i got so damn homesick for that trip. not the people i traveled with. not the people i met. not even the traveling, really. just being nowhere in particular. connected to your normal life by nothing but a phone. the open road. the endless expanse. the idea that you had nothing to do but think.
i have a big problem with laziness. i used to get very very upset at myself for not making more of my life. being nothing but a leach. not contributing anything of value to my community/ society/ planet. on this trip, i spent most of the time driving an RV and operating a camera ( we were shooting a documentary), but i felt like i was really doing something to help. maybe i just miss being able to sit around in an RV and play with cameras, but still feel like i was doing something noble. either way, i feel very homesick for that trip.
