The vital elements are often momentary, change-sent things. . . a gleam of light on water, a trail of smoke from a passing train, a cat crossing the threshold.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them
And yet, over the years I've met so many people like Jared who seem to be more at home, happier, living in a country on of their birth. . . .
