I had travelled widely, studied the most esoteric sciences, learned more than ten trades. Life treated me a little the way an organism treats a foreign body: it was obviously trying either to enclose me or expel me, and I myself thirsted for ‘something else.’

  3. HI Janet…safe journey to you as you prepare to leave for Turkey. On my recent trip to Spain and Morocco I met a man who invited me to travel with him to Morocco. I thought , why not? So I returned to Spain where he lives and we are now doing a 6 week camping trip in Morocco. Life is such a big mystery. I long for more dance and song.. and look forward to hearing about your adventure . I will return to the island sometime later this year. Be well…..
