I'm turning the mechanism to open the lock doors. Well, only for the picture and not really because I don't want to accidentally cause a flooding. Also sweet ladies like me are delicate and just cannot do any labor (which btw is what I always say when I'm girlie). Anyway, all the locks in this canal are operated manually and I think that any boatmen passing through the lock would be delighted with my elegant assistance.
Lock 35 on the Erie Canal. Lock 34 is right behind it. These are the first two locks boats encounter traveling east from Buffalo.

Life can feel like a prison sometimes. You try and try to break the lock, and when you do, you realize it wasn't actually locking anything. You're still trapped behind the fence.

" The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head. "
_Jean Cocteau_

Actually, while I agree with the latter part of this statement, the first part isn't the greatest advice ever. It's inevitable that you'll get hurt if you open yourself up. Humans are most inventive of ways to fall short and fail others. But while it may never break, it will also never beat. Find a safe place to entrust your love: it will give you the strength to go forth and love, and a safe haven to return whenever you're smote.
We all love imperfectly, but to be human is to love.
