Cancun on foot
Mind-dwarfing skyscrapers, herds of people oozing over street crossings, sunshine smashing off sidewalks. All amidst leaves fluttering to the ground in October’s New York. And I didn’t take any pictures of this?
With only a glimpse of each other in 27 years, my visit to New York marks the start of a new bond with my sister, Alison. We shared a room while growing up. Our voices, giggles and tears mingled thousands of times before we reached adulthood.
Then I moved to Mexico and didn’t return for a generation. Long enough for both her children and mine to grow up. Alison opened her world to me on this trip back home, and shared memories that cut the distance between us.

We walked along the beach with Ali’s dog, Kitkat. In summertime, he rides the waves as all good beachbums do. A radiant afternoon light caught fishing trawlers and fluid lines of geese heading westward.
Afternoon stroll with KitKat.
The joy of seeing my sister’s face lightened by a smile. These are my interior postcards that I flip through when I need to. Accompanied by snatches of our conversations over five days together.
