reading that, and marvelling over the similarities between the 'immigrant outcasts'. even the smiles are different - tight-lipped where you don't want to be, and light-heartedly honest where you belong. so far, couldn't agree more with what's written on each page. 'the struggle' continues.
and a cool quote right from the start:
you ask me about that country, whose details now escape me,
i don't remember its geography, nothing of its history.
and should i visit it in memory,
it would be as i would a past lover,
after years, for a night, no longer restless with passion,
with no fear of regret.
i have reached that age when one visits the heart merely as a courtesy.
