Home and Away

I find comfort in would-be-strangers in a foreign city. 
we bond in our restlessness, our singlehood and our ever-expanding dreams.
Tied together in our resentment of those who judge us, 
those who want to save us, educate us or show us the golden path.
 
Never before has the divide between Us & Them been wider.
It is not a battle between singles and couples,
but the ultimate confrontation of conventionalists and norm-breakers.
I never knew just how provocating it can be to just follow your own path.
 
I suppose Salman Rushdie is right:
 
Among the great struggles of man- good/evil, reason/unreason, etc-
there is also the mighty conflict between the fantasy of Home and the fantasy of Away.
The dream of roots and the mirage of the journey.
