You guys, the whole point of the classic Steve McQueen film, The Great Escape, is that ultimately they don’t escape, at least not physically. That life is a series of successive confinements, BUT, nevertheless, it is the community we build, the ATTEMPT to escape with others, that is in its own way a kind of spiritual escape, a freedom of the heart. McQueen’s character fails in his attempts to escape alone. It’s when he joins the others that they find something that transcends the confines of the prison.
