Now That We're Back
Today Garrison Keillor wrote a tribute of sorts to choreographer Merce Cunningham who died a couple of days ago. Having recently returned from our Grand Adventure, I was taken by his last paragraph:
Travel is the art form available to Everyman. You sit in the coffee shop in a strange city and nobody knows who you are, or cares, and so you shed your checkered past and your motley credentials and you face the day unarmed, as the great Merce did. Bravery! Adventure! Defeat! Survival! And onward we go and some day in the distant future, we will stop and turn around in astonishment to see all the places we've been and the heroes we were.
