Being born in a place is only one way to belong, nor do you have to die there.. I knew at once that Magdala was home because I felt sighted there again, second sighted. It was not only the spring.

The very ground said make a path here, plant herbs there. These vine are not dead. Tend them and they'll bear fruit again. Ancient trees offered shelter and wisdom as well as olives. And there were certain rocks that could absorb fatigue or agitation, leaving me refreshed and calm. . Elizabeth Cunningham

And I guess I'm a person who needs a home, a place to plant seeds and watch them grow. Barbara Freethy

How do you go to your own house when something has gone bad on the inside, when it doesn't seem like your place to live anymore, when you almost cannot recall living there although it was the place you mostly ate and slept for all your grown-up life?

He crosses the front room, which he calls his study, and comes down the staircase. The stairs turn a corner; they are narrow and steep.

He often feels protected by its smallness; there is hardly room enough here to feel lonely. Nevertheless. Christopher Isherwood

Home is a desk. The amalgamation of a dream. Home is the cats, my books, and my work never done. All the lost things that may one day call to me, the faces of my children who will one day call to me.

It’s funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, ‘I want to go home.’ But then you come home, and of course it’s not the same.

I’m never completely at home anywhere. Danzy Senna

I think about what the man at the Coney joint said. He was right. We are the people who stay. We stay in our homes and pay them off. We stay at our jobs. We do our thirty and come home to stay even more. We stay until we are no longer able to mow our lawns and our gutters sag with saplings, until our houses look haunted to the neighborhood children. We like it where we are. I guess then the other question is: Why do we even travel? There can only be one answer to that: we travel to appreciate home. (p.97). Michael Zadoorian

I think travelling teaches one that. Ben Okri
75
