Existence is so much how we see it, i think. i feel like the world is big with endless choices and possibilities, but a lot of kids in our village have never left silk grass, maybe to go to dangriga once or twice in their whole lives. Sometimes we go 4 times a week. i cannot imagine my life being as small as silk grass. a whole new world is a hitch hike away. and yet that's it for so many of them. there are grown men who have never left hopkins. it's not like it is isolated or impossible, or even expensive to get in or out of. i wonder, maybe they are as scared of their world getting any bigger than their village, as i am as it ever being that small.
