************* EXODUS *************

An Idea is a Point of Departure & No More............. 
As soon as you Elaborate It,.............
It becomes Transformed by Thought.............
For Millenia Migrats.............
Have Filled the Skies & Oceans,............. 
Heading South in Search of.............
Warmer Climes & Richer Pickings.............
Conversely, these Days,.............
Droves of Our Fellow Beings Struggle Northbound............
Against All Odds,............
Seeking Safety & a Better Life.............
The Key Difference ?
This Vast Exodus of Human Traffic Moves............ 
In One Direction Only.............
From South to North.............
From East to West.............
Our Aim is Desame Greener Pasture.............
There is a Time for Departure Even.............
When there's No Certain Place to Go............
We Live in a Dominant Culture.............
Of Ceaseless Departure & Progress.............
That has so Far Lasted Two or Three Centuries.............
There are Times when.............
The Actual Experience of Leaving Something.............
Makes you Wish Desperately.............
That you Could Stay,............
Then there are Times when............ 
The Leaving Reminds you.............
A Hundred Times Over.............
Why Exactly you had to Leave............ 
In the first place.............
The Event of New Horizons Awaits.............
As We Explore All Possibilities.............
& Gather All Opportinies............. 
Comes our Way.............
The Treasure We Seek.............
Is On the Other End of.............
The Cave We Fear.............
