As I work through the night in what has become a common ritual over the past two months, I pause briefly for a coffee break and gaze up at the night sky.
Breathing in the crisp night air I sigh... 'finally' everything is feels as though it is in order and I'm on the home straight.
In a few days, my Melbourne life and identity will be placed in snooze mode as I fly towards the Northern hemisphere to immerse myself in art, culture, language and sensational delights.
Soon I'll be travelling to my dreams.
