Like a blanket, the idea of the West has thrown itself around me, warming my shoulders with homesickness and reminding me of that chilly summer night air which so often contains the scent of forgotten flowers. Like a pillow, the idea of the West has cradled my head for colorful dreams, like the dream of a blond-maned actress and the dream of a runaway train, on fire; the dream of turquoise-bright fish jumping in a cold clear stream and the one of great, gold hillsides spiced by the green spears of eucalyptus. Like a bed, the idea of the West's where I'll start and finish, where each night I'll go for my renewal, and which each morning I'll leave in that daily botched effort to inhabit my present geography.
