passage 3
ever since i was very small, i have had the sense that i ought to be somewhere else. i remember watching trains flash by ａnd wishing i was on board. i remember going to the airport with my parents when i was 13 ａnd reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that i could go to: los angeles, chicago, london.
but the trains passed by ａnd the planes took off without me, so i wandered the world through books. i went to victorian england in the pages of middlemarch ａnd a little princess, ａnd to st. petersburg before the fall of the tsar （沙皇）with anna karenina.
my home was in a pleasant place outside philadelphia. but i really lived, somewhere else. i lived within the covers of books. in books i traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. i learned who i was ａnd whom i wanted to be, what i might achieve, ａnd what i might dare to dream about my world ａnd myself.
i travel today in the way i once dreamed of traveling as a child---on airplanes ａnd trains. ａnd the irony is that i don’t care fir it very much. i am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. the only thing i do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.
it turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. books are the plane, ａnd the train, ａnd the road. they are the real destinations, ａnd the journey too. they are home.
