I have a stong affinity for maps.
A map represents soil where I haven't stood, air I haven't breathed, and throughts I haven't had.
A map represents everyone I haven't laid eyes on.
They are doing some of the same things I'm doing- bending to pick up a quarter, stepping on a Lego, drinking water, scratching my knee, folding a piece of paper.
But they're doing things I'm NOT doing- herding sheep, watching a lava flow, brushing desert sand from their eyes, burning incense, comforting a child with AIDS, riding a crowded bullet train.
They are out there just the same as I am. Do they feel it?
