There seem to be two major types of psychological affliction in regards to ‘wandering’. Those who remain in one place, often a little distance from where they where born, rarely moving far and infrequently travelling for business or pleasure. The liberty of the package holiday.
The other have a nomadic affliction, which comes in varying degrees. This can go from a mere misidentification with kin and retarded notion of ‘home’. Debilitating homelessness in all things geographical, emotional, mental and social.
The nomadic lifestyle is child abuse.

Where would I settle if forced in Europe? Portugal? The women, beautiful. The men, diminutive (so as to not be a threat). Not as uptight as the English but not as lazy as the Spanish. Good food. Good drink. Yes, a paradise surrounded by the flames.
Portugal is a pretty country.
Pretty is pretty.
Only ugly can be beautiful.
I sit by the canals of a greater England. The world at my feet, an oyster at that. Water is a symbol of the unconscious. Infinitely malleable, yet unable to be compressed, subject to change.
