Border Crossings
For Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Milestone.' Starting in 1999 I spent 13 years in Southeast Asia and China. When I left I had one empty page left in my second passport. All the other pages crammed full of visas and border crossings. Every border crossing is an actual and metaphoric milestone. I am grateful for every one of them. The ones that greeted me with smiles and also those that unsmilingly kept their hands on guns. Every challenge and kindness, thank you.
