Everything we do is music.
-John Cage
If ever a human could move
at will between worlds, it
was surely the woman who
rolled my sleeve between
her fingers as though to
fold the universe on
itself, fashion a worm-
hole, an instant road home.
- The epigraph is a quote attributed to composer John Cage, but which he may have adapted from the work of Indian philosopher Ananda K. Coomaraswamy.
- I was wearing a Lionel Messi Argentina jersey when this woman stopped me. Even then, it was difficult to say if she was feeling homesickness, regret, hope, something else; the only thing she said, as she touched my sleeve, was "My home".
