On the train towards the airport, towards Australia, I feel the essence of the last few weeks as a sunset musk and blue of far-off hills, Italianiate mist, which leaves its gentle imprint on my body and in my hair. Sometimes a trip is an impressionist painting we don’t get to keep but remember with longing.
