Three years I was somewhere else on my journey. There are many ways to think about this past. A few thoughts from where I am at, **in** (not simply ‘at’) ‘home’, is that I am just as alone as I was then. The open road never gave me companionship, but neither did I expected it. The open road gave me a few extra, unusual, short opportunities of friendly conversations than now being at home. For that I miss the open road. Freedom is not what many persons think, and make it out to be. It is an important characteristic of life, but to be free one
must be bounded, either bounded by the domestic home or by the open road that stretched towards the horizon. Both setting should be valued for what it is in life. ![]()
