Imagine

Imagine you live in a land devoid of freedom and that human rights are merely a dream. Imagine too, that you could be taken into custody without reason at any time, anywhere. But let us suppose you'd be allowed one tiny bundle thrown together in haste to carry into the unknown. Would you think sentimentally and need photographs, your favorite book, some small memento to connect you with your life as it was? Or would you be purely practical- food, extra socks and underwear, warm clothes, only the " bare necessities." Would you realize that actually what is truly important lies within and cannot be taken from you - it endures. Your thoughts and hopes, memories and knowledge- but could these be would these be enough to sustain you?
