The Silk Road is not the one that linked China and Mongolia to Europe and Africa through the Chinese silk trade from the first century BCE. It is not the one that crossed glaciers and cliffs to connect two such distant worlds with a bridge of luxury products. Nor is it the one that Marco Polo narrated at the end of the 13th century plagued by incredible dangers that went from Venice to Burma, via Beijing, and back to Europe by sea.
The Silk Road is what my hand travels without asking permission as I wander through the rooms of my house from the first cushion to the last. The Silk Road is what my robe flies over when it hangs from me in the morning from my bedroom to the kitchen, resting in the office with coffee in hand. Better still, the Silk Road is this fabric caressing my skin as it sits on my shoulders and drapes over my body to dress me, or as it slides to the ground to undress me.
