A Journey Through

New York City,

And other places.

Me-  September 9, 2015

Introduction

These pinned locations represent just some of the great distances I have covered since I left my birthplace, Jamaica. As you are well aware, time came alongside me as I journeyed toward new beginnings. I find this quote from Whitman’s “Song of Myself” to be apt. “What do you think has become of the young and old men? And what do you think has become of the women and children?” In my early days time was my friend, now he’s an unrelenting taskmaster who punishes my folly. UNABLE TO POST PICTURES.

The  pins from left to right are NJ, where I work per diem and part time, so I have an opportunity to complete my degree. From “Heart Sutra” I like these lines “[t]here is no ignorance, and no end to ignorance.”

Brooklyn,where I lived worked and gave birth.  According to “Heart Sutra”,  “The body is exactly empty”. I am still struggling with this concept.

The last pin is a doozie. Manhattan specifically Baruch college, where I attended college,met my love, got pregnant and dropped out of school…Whitman’s poem  provides a peephole of knowledge.  “The smallest sprout  shows there is really no death”.
