Fall in Austin

Sitting in my backyard contemplating the concept of first written about in "La frontera" (1978) by and feeling inspired by how applicable it is to me and my life.

According to Anzaldua, the actual is when someone is of a mixed race, or when two cultures collide and merge.

This certainly describes my life experience except, living in Texas, I have much more than two-cultures overlapping.

In the preface to Anzaldua's book, she says: “the Borderlands are physically present wherever two or more cultures edge each other, where people of different races occupy the same territory, where under, lower, middle and upper classes touch, where the space between two individuals shrinks with intimacy.”
