The place in San Juan I return to: what I notice there that seems to persist across my visits. Not the human story of it, but the texture of presence I keep finding, the particularity of light, the arrangement of things that draws me, what in the place itself (not in my wanting) calls me back. What am I actually perceiving versus what am I projecting?
