“Dante knew his love for Florence, gleaned from partaking of the waters of the Arno river, would lead him to understand that our homeland is a wider water, it is the world, as the sea is the home of the fishes” –   Claudio Magris

There is no true journey without passing through a myriad of borders, – political, linguistic, social, cultural, psychological, and the invisible ones  that divide cities and societies. We should go beyond borders, but also love them, as they define our reality for us, give us individuality,  and  give the world around us shape. We should be conscious of how flexible, temporary, and transitory borders are, like a person, and thus worthy of  love,  for  they  are fragile, like us.”

“Modern travel is a straight line, a direct escape, a sudden breaking of limits and ties, an immersion into the precariousness of the wide world, where one’s ego dissolves into the surroundings and a new person emerges.

It is ” a path of no return, where  one  discovers that there is  not, can  not  and should not, be a way back.”
