Aboriginal Sovereignty generated peace of mind as the inmates who had illegally been incarcerated would calculate the distances he travelled through endlessly pacing the exercise yard in their inescapable barbwire-fenced detention camp, and they wanted to believe that he had reached the extraordinary distances of freedom, and had succeeded in passing through all obstacles, to reach the desired destinations that were otherwise impossible to reach, so that through him, they too could become closer to their gods in endless time.

[...] a league of brothers in a family that was so vast, their numbers formed a single place constituting neither land nor sea. They were a single soul of humanity trying to figure out what happens next, what was coming...their existence, clearly identifiable and interconnected through the map of human fate, enduring great circumstances of loss, eternally roaming oceans in the crisis of a ruined planet. Caught people. Stalked. Trapped. Silenced. Censored. Rejected. Captives of powerful planetary investors hiding from the plain view of world crisis in private gated sanctuaries throughout the world.
