We are all abandoned children. We journey through life in search for our parents, even if they are still alive and besides us. We yearn for some ancestral parents whose identities we don’t know. We never find them; we go through gutters, endure cold weather, wearing ragged clothes and yet we continue. We stop from time to time and wait for them to appear, crying out for their presence. But nobody listens so we return to the road, until we get tired and hopeless. When the body no longer cooperates, we embrace the idea that our parents are within us – that we are our own parents. Yet, we stumble, we don’t know what to ask and what to offer to ourselves. We end up feeling compelled to embrace the longlines.
Where is the promise of love?
