Cherries
‘Can you launch rockets from here? Boy, I’ve done it for years’. Those are words from a song by Tori Amos called Snow Cherries from France. The lilting, nostalgic lyrics have always stuck with me, especially the line that goes ‘All that summer we travelled the world, never leaving his own back garden’. Now, during lockdown, many are discovering that very phenomenon: mind-travelling. For some, it is the world of virtual tourism, whether it’s Look Up London’s tours of the city, or National Geographic’s museum exhibition about Jane Goodall. For others, it is reigniting imagination through books and films.
