Look me in the eye. What are you thinking about as you look at me? Look at me.
Nothing.
Nothing? You must be thinking of something. We always do. Now, as you look at me.
I'm looking.
Now. What are you thinking of?
Well – What's the center of the world for you?
The center of the world? We've never talked, and the first time we do, you ask me weird questions.
I think it's a perfectly normal question.
True.
Come on. Answer me.
Love, I guess.
Funny. I'd have said "me." Does that sound strange? Don't you think you're the center of the world?

Paul and Madeleine, Masculin féminin (1966)

Like Paul and Madeleine, I am discovering the world in which we live and coming to understand how to be true to myself and those around me. I am a student interested in how we design our communities for race, class, and sustainability, and I hope to become a good friend as I read, write, listen, photograph, and bicycle in and around Albany, New York. You can reach me here, and by all means, please do.
