Being Bold in Egypt: Awakening 2

From the original post on Koffeemocha.

A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

A crowded Egypt itinerary leaves Kefei moving through extraordinary places without always feeling that he has arrived. At Karnak and in the Valley of the Kings, pausing changes his relationship with the journey.

He carries that experience back to New York, where everyday speed makes stillness harder to protect. The essay considers how attention gives activity meaning, whether in travel, parenting, mentoring, writing, or an ordinary walk through the city.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
