Lost and Found

Lost and Found

By Mark Kingwell

Forget the map and you might just find yourself. I flew to New York for the weekend on a 7 a.m. flight. I got up in the dark, took off into the cold twilight and was walking in Central Park by 8:45. Red-tailed hawks were circling in the cloudless sky and diving from Fifth Avenue perches after prey fleeing for cover in Frederick Law Olmsted’s midtown masterpiece. I was so deracinated, the touchstones of my daily life so broken and deranged, that I could not quite believe I had started the day in my familiar home. Travel is a drug, and not just because it can be addictive.
