By morning she had packed and set off for her new life in the woods. She wanted to be alone. In her solitude she discovered something very odd. She had envied men their long-legged freedom to roam the world and return full of glory to wives who only waited. She knew about history-makers and the home-makers, the great division that made life possible. Without rejecting it, she had simply hoped to take on the parts of the freedoms that belonged to the other side. What if she travelled the world and the seven seas? Would she find something different or the old things in different disguises?
She found that the whole world could be contained in one place because that place was; You.
Nothing had prepared her for this.
