There's no place like home
Lady Nina
I've been pondering on it lately.
Place of birth? Area you grew up? The physical house you make?
Is it always a solid thing that you can point at or a feeling?
Is it defined by your religion or spritiuality? Is it a spiritual
place?

The place where I grew up was actually in Nouméa - but I use 'grew up'
in the sense of making a sudden change into a vastly new perception of
life people and tradition.
Yes, often my physical house is where I feel at home in the physical
sense.

at home.
Later I was introduced to witchcraft and realised I had been there all
along.

'Home' can be as much a feeling, a state of mind, as it can be a
physical place.
I am at home in Malkuth. I am at home in Yesod. I am at home in the
world of the intellect. When I far-distance travel (in natural
Sagittarian mode) I am at home with myself - body soul and spirit.

Home is where I feel comfortable; where I can leave the society outside.
Strangely enough it's not where I live, if that's any help.

Hmmmm. What it means, I'm not sure. It's one of them "I'll know it
when I see/feel it" thingies.

Come to any/many startling results?

No. Yes. No.
Place of birth isn't all that far away, but it's not close enough that
it's in the area I'd feel comfortable calling Home(tm). Area I grew up
in is a very definite yes. I've been here all my life, and I can't see
me ever wanting to be away from here tbh. I discovered the never
wanting to be away from here part when I /almost/ moved to S.Wales to
move closer to Spyd all those years ago, and the total and utter
feeling of absolute, almost mind-boggling relief I had when it all
fell through. The house I'm in atm? Nope. Despite the fact that I
could've moved out the other year when Nick wanted to guy us a house
instead of moving into this one, I've just never really felt At
Home(tm) in this one. Ok, so I'm getting on with it better than I used
to - thanks, I suspect, in no small part to the fact that it's
actually getting looked after and having Things Done To It now - but
it still just feels like the temporary stop-gap that it was originally
intended to be. The house I grew up in however, still feels very much
like "my home," even though I haven't lived there since... eeek! 1990!
> Is it always a solid thing that you can point at or a feeling?
____For me____, it's very definitely a feeling. It's got to be, since
it also exists in the ephemeral too, with here and LJ. And yup, that's
even while I haven't been on here for so long, it's still 'home', even
though I've essentially moved out and only come back for visits.
<thinks>
I suspect this - URP - is 'home' in much the same way that my mom's is
home, in that it's the place where I grew up and did oh so much
learning about me and the world around me.
What my feelings towards URP'd be if none of the rest of you lot was
here, and only folks that I didn't know was here though, I don't know.

Religion? No. Spiritual? I dunno - aren't almost all feelings
spiritual, in at least some way?
