In particular the brief mention of him staying with Simon the Tanner and the colossal change that comes through the incident with Cornelius.
It has got me thinking about the borders we construct - for all borders are human constructs and while they might serve for a time, we generally end up serving them and sometimes dying for them!
Here's a quote I found:
Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary. It is in a constant state of transition. Gloria Anzaldua, Borderlands/La Frontera
And here is some art from an interesting person/s who has some done some quite wonderfully subversive, border-crossing streetart... more on Banksy can be found at http://www.banksy.co.uk/
The art on the West Bank wall is rather powerful!
