Mark Vanhoenacker Quotes

Jet Lag Results From Our Rapid Motion Between Time Zones, Across The Lines That We Have Drawn On The Earth That Equate Light With Time, And Time With Geography. Yet Our Sense Of Place Is Scrambled As Easily As Our Body's Circadian Rhythms. Because Jet Lag Refers Only To A Confusion Of Time, To A Difference Measured By Hours, I Call This Other Feeling 'place Lag': The Imaginative Drag That Results From Our Jet-age Displacements Over Every Kind Of Distance; From The Inability Of Our Deep Old Sense Of Place To Keep Up With Our Aeroplanes.
