We do live within a transient world. Some folk stay in one place there entire lives and I have had a block within my writes as I am preparing for this move. Yet moving away from moving. I have loved this city for years. I am not sure if it's better to be one that has seen so many places or if it's better off to live within one place for the one's entire life. As the days get closer, I am finding that there is less and less to write about this city. I have lived in many cities and there is that time where you place your feet down. And then do some travelling. I have not travelled as a tourist in years. Yet I enjoy what one finds within the various communities within the places that they have lived. We do live within a world now that is very transient. Probably more so now than ever. Yet we aspire to the places that we would like to go. Yet I still believe regardless of where you are all that matters is whom you are. I have always found that there is some common grounds within all people, cultures and races. I went for a good drive for a potion of today and I looked out into the these praries and there is a commonality I find within all people - that is regardless of where they come from. Earlier a few days ago there was this song that was wrote by three friends on a blog actually within almost the same duration one was from the east and the other was more from the western portion of USA. Both really had the very same concept in what they were writing. So often there are coincidences that take place and I do think that we all do have much in common. Not all the time but the main thing I believe is that when we can look at live from an ease of view.
I truly believe it all encompasses plenty.
Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
ReplyDeleteVery nice philosophy!
ReplyDeleteI have to kind of agree with the first comment ... I too have travelled all over the place ... always on the move so to speak ... and home is definitely that place inside .... There was a stage in my life when I moved every year and its only in the past six years that I have put down roots .... the life experience of travel is now a wonderful memory and I do believe my older kids are richer for the experience.
ReplyDelete.home is where the Heart,,is:)
ReplyDeleteThere are advantages to both situations, rooted or transient.
ReplyDelete" I still believe regardless of where you are all that matters is whom you are"
ReplyDeleteYes
Home has so much more meaning than geographical location, where there is peace and love there is a place of belonging. I miss where I grew up yet I am at home & should a time ever come to move from this location I carry within my heart what is most important and I believe you do as well
ReplyDeletei believe amigo that we are all creations---so "home" is creation---as the seasons bring us change our "being" does not change but rather is enlightened ----here there are buds on the tangerine tree and as spring comes so too will new birds and butterflies,mosquitos and even young snakes yet we all call this home just as this scene plays out across the earth---for some it is spring for some it is winter but we are all experiencing change...........si?---our ancestors were migratory...............we be.................................
ReplyDeleteHome is where the heart is... there within you, always, no matter where you are at any given time. A comforting thought I find. A good evening to you Jack.
