The airport marks a transition. 

Following the sudden accidental passing of my travel buddy and best friend Sam, I felt suddenly alone. 
Our love language was travel and we spent a good decade navigating airports together, getting lost, sleeping on airport floors.

Sam taught me to love airports; to reconsider them not just as a liminal space, but as a true part of the adventure itself. Though often seen as a means to an end, Sam knew that airports were part of the journey, the magical portals to another world.

They’ve been the living room to my grief, as I mourn while I am on flights nearly every week.  
Yet there is something so healing about the ability to connect with the pulse of humanity in these airports. They’re a giant vascular system, reminding you of the scale of the modern world. 

And we feel a brush with all the lives we leave behind, and the mystery we will never know.
