We walk away from our homes, from what we know and what we understand and what we find familiar, and we go out into the unknown. We take taxis and we board long-distance flights and we sit in a mud-splattered four-wheel drive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine you are sixteen and you have been reading books for as long as you can remember. Reading stories. Words were magic. Sentences were magic weaved into spells. And what kept you spellbound were stories, for hours at end. Your father used to take you to the state library every Saturday and you would borrow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Red, red, the house is red. A theatre, a theatre, the house is a stage. The lanterns, the lanterns, they hang like lost children in the night; those lanterns, these lanterns, the city&#8217;s past arise and rise. You walk into the building, renovated from prior decay. An art gallery now, a local theatre (the stage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beijing, 2009 I have been to the Great Wall at last. I can say that now. And as Björk scornfully puts it, &#8220;All walls are great, if the roof doesn&#8217;t fall.&#8221; It&#8217;s all right, in other words. But no, I&#8217;ve not been blown away. Though the winds, which are strong, may well do that and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have forgotten what you were wearing this morning. Have I always forgotten? There must be a time when I remembered whether you left our house wearing a cardigan or your favourite jacket, which one is that, again? So many questions and half-remembered answers. The years will do this to you. It has done me. [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;re back now, you say, from all your travels. From Germany, right? Yes, I answer, and Jakarta and a few other places. You nod, and we blithely ignore the fact that Germany [...]]]></description>

The number on her badge, if she had one, would not read as a number at all, but&#8230; a feeling? Is &#8216;exhausted&#8217; a feeling? It certainly isn&#8217;t a number. But it is. Hers.
