The night before my departure, before my journey around the world becomes real, I am frigid with anxiety. Needles prick my body and poke my brain. I can't sleep.

A biblical wave washes over my distressed soul by some divine intervention, drowning my eyes in a twilight's slumber. Then they open to dreamy daylight.
