Finally! I’m writing from the airport in Seattle, about to
board the plane for Frankfurt, where I will catch a train to Vienna. Aaannd
some thoughts:
Being in an airport alone makes me feel at once strong and
vulnerable. Perhaps there is a kind of strength in disconnection? Or maybe an
illusion of strength in reaction to the loneliness. Hm.
Anyway, this made me think about being vulnerable, and about
how truly vulnerable The Vulnerability Project really is.
Here we are, two girls fresh from the beginnings of college
in California, exploring Vienna, Austria. At least for me, I will be exploring
a whole new culture, country, and language. Maybe the feeling of being out of
place is stronger for me, Kristen, than for Patty, but it’s definitely a
factor. Even more, we aren’t simply exploring the place, but we are also
planning on making connections with the people who live there. We want to talk
to people about the feeling of vulnerability, and the process of that is so
vulnerable in itself!
It will be an interesting experience to say the least -
exploring the idea of vulnerability, while experiencing so much of it in our
day to day lives. More on this later :).
