Windows A320 Winnipeg, MB August 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
In this throwback image from this past summer, we’ve just boarded and are settling in before pushback. I peek out the window and see this lovely old Air Canada Airbus A-320 parked beside us, still wearing the toothpaste livery.
The randomly opened and closed windowshades are attracting my attention for reasons I don’t fully understand. I imagine each one concealing the story of whoever sat beside it on the previous flight. And as the aircraft gets turned around on the ground, it sets the stage for an entirely new set of passengers to board - and stories to be told. Or not.
It’s what we do when we travel, when we look for small touchstones to hold onto amid the overscaled ebb and flow of giant planes flying through giant airports.
Come to think of it, we do this not only when we travel, but when we live.
At least we should.
