windswept days in santorini | on being blown away

 

santorini > day 15

these days on the island have been so windy. if it’s windy and cloudy (and dark), and the wind is strong enough, it feels like you’re at the end of the world. no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to hold onto any of your worldly posessions, let alone your own body.

but windy and sunny is beautiful. that day, i walked along the caldera feeling like i was going to be blown away, squinting my eyes because the dust was going everywhere, looking out down into the sea and wondering what would happen if i just disappeared like this.

i like the idea of existing as a shadow, moving along a white wall. so i took this video to remember this feeling - when the wind blows me, in less than two weeks, off this island, and to other places.
