According to the Advanced English Dictionary, an application on my iPhone, immigration, a noun, means in part: "....the body of immigrants arriving during a specified interval..."Immigrate, a verb, is defined as "...com[ing] into a new country and chang[ing] residency." I am in the process then of migrating, transmigrating, arriving, getting to Canada. William Least Heat Moon writes in his book, Blue Highways: "Maybe the road could provide therapy through observation of the ordinary and obvious, a means whereby the outer eye opens an inner one." The journey is engaged and I am traveling along very worn paths.
