Harriet Tubman a long time ago said, "I had crossed the line. I was free but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land."
That is an emotion hard to capture across the expanse of time if bondage is a way of being in vogue, or feel if one has a life of privilege and is in bondage. No stranger to the feeling of this kind of isolation affords those who have obtained their freedom the deep unction Harriet Tubman carried within her that compelled her to go back and lead and sometimes pull people out of slavery into free land. Harriet Tubman is not the only one, in such a line of work, who bemoaned the state of mind that craved the return to bondage, and resented those who sought to be free. There are few free people and it is a strange land with all the resistance to freedom and truth telling.
