To describe it a bit better, he sings the above line, and then in the pause before the next line sings "Joni".

I took it to mean that we, the cities, forests and highways are just specks relative to the universe. That in the grand scheme of things we go unnoticed especially in terms of being travellers, we pass each other by and that there is "refuge in the roads" because we are somewhat anonymous.

Cassy, I saw an exhibition of these photos at the Seattle Art Museum a few years ago. The photo of Joni is breath-taking. Travis was watching me when I first caught sight of it and he said my jaw dropped. It is a beautiful image.

Perhaps, and I'll agree that's the one scene that might have been intended to make the viewer think that Ennis was thinking of Jack when he did that. Otoh -- and skip this if you don't want to read personal stuff about me ... That's happened to me before (back when I used to "do" men) and a bitch (of the canine persuasion) is exactly what I felt like, every single time. And I'm pretty darned sure most (if not all) of the men that thought this was a nifty position weren't gay (even slightly).
