Very thoughtful essay, disturbing and enlightening, brought to mind Dylan's line "How free are birds from the chains of the skyways". Also the borders presented by a prison cell, maybe the ultimate borders, and what it takes to scale those walls. Like I said a very thoughtful and thought provoking essay especially during these times of such focus on borders, geographically, culturally, intellectually. I have lived in such a small geographical world the last 60 plus year that escape is via people ( vicariously in their travels ) and the more normal modes of screens and books, it may be time for me to sing a journey.

Thx Skip. I appreciate the comment and the Dylan quote. I forgot about that one.
