sometimes it feels like we’re looking out through steel bars,
through bubbled glass
onto dry desert
and green thorns–
and sometimes it is heartbreakingly beautiful
and tragically dreadful all at once

I’m not sure what this means, unfortunately Spanish and English are the only two languages I speak. But I did look this up and the translation is “keep on going”. If that’s what you mean, then yes, we will keep on moving on. Forward…..

It’s all perspectives, you can see that dried up patch outside your windows as lifeless, or you can plant something you like, and make it your own…

I think of it as freedom, the freedom of the open road, joyful (plenty of cacti as I rode my bike through the southwest) but also as dreadful, as in Janis Joplin: “Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose.” On another note, that cactus on the left appears to be laughing at whoever is locked up inside… –Curt

You’re absolutely right Curt. And I hadn’t noticed the laughing cactus! Good one.

Great observation on the cactus!
Have you ever read Walt Whitman’s Song of the Open Road? Your comment on freedom reminded me of his work.

Not for a long time, Jan. So I went back and refreshed my memory. And yes, I think Whitman captures the feeling, as he captures so much. –Curt

Ah, the cactus. It’s all about perspective … we can look and want out. Or stare and want in. That old grass-is-greener conundrum 🙂
