‘It takes so little, so infinitely little, for someone to find himself on the other side of the border, where everything – love, convictions, faith, history – no longer has meaning. The whole mystery of human life resides on the fact that it is spent in the immediate proximity of, and even in direct contact with, that border, that it is separated from it not by kilometers but by barely a millimetre’
― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

this is such an interesting photo to illustrate the subject of boundaries… like it is testing the bounderies of perception… very tactile and elusive at the same time…

Boundaries can be the limits that some intrusive people need to recognize.
I’ve been having issues with that…I think this ties in with this prompt:

The word list helped to set the mood.
My muse just stirred the pot.
Some folks can be a tad ornery.
I try to stay positive, but sometimes I can get snarky in my writing when I can’t tell the actual person who is bugging me just what it is I’m thinking.
