I am still conceiving the route I will follow up and down the escarpment.
In the meantime another event takes shape within the larger event.
It seems that walking from my house to Luna Park would take exactly 15 hours and 59 minutes – the same amount of time it would take to walk from Halfeti to Kobane.
Halfeti was never my home. Only a sick irony relates Kobane to Luna Park. No kind of adequate correspondence can be opened up between current events on the Turkish-Syrian border and the contrived event of walking from Wollongong to Sydney, but the latter is oddly tempting.
