I am thinking of freedom again, how the calf is most free when the cage opens and it's led to the truck for slaughter. All freedom is relative- you know too well- and sometimes it's no freedom at all, but simply the cage widening far away from you, the bars abstracted with distance, but still there, as when they 'free' wild animals into nature preserves only to contain them yet again by larger borders.

Maybe in the next life we'll meet each other for the first time-- believing in everything but the harm we are capable of........ We laughed knowing joy would tear the stitches from our lips.

The whole point of us meeting was to say goodbye
