Walking Journey

 

Mother and Child in Motion

Feet moving without body motion,
Toes steady within shoes but no muscle action,
Escalator controls the motion,
Guatemalan refugees seeking asylum,
With feet running from abuse,
Now walking roads toward freedom,
Up and down with rocky terrain,
Walking on mechanical device,
Walking a top clouds by airplane,
New freedom,
Nogales Sonora Mexico,
Tucson AZ to Seattle WA,
"Oh Say Can You See",
The American dream!

[This reflection comes from an experience that Kathleen had while escorting a woman and her daughter from Tucson AZ, via Nogales (Sonora), to Seattle WA at the beginning of May 2022. This type of travel would be NEW to this woman and her daughter.]
