Unmarked Borders
When I read this comic strip today, and apropos of the moment, it came to me these words by Sharon Kay Penman. In this passage from The Sunne in Spendour, she penned of the yet to be king young Edward (Edward IV) and his siblings during a critical moment in the War of the Roses:
"they were citizens now of two countries, passing back and forth across the unmarked borders between manhood and boyhood with such frequency that she (their mother) never knew with certainty where they'd be found at any given time." - 'The Sunne in Spendour'

I thought of my daughter who loves this cartoon.
I enjoy reading this comic strip very much also. It stirs up memories that have never been.
