5. Home

October 6, 2007

“Thinking - what an unsettling thought! - it is just electricity.”  What I mean is … “Here is where the home of thought is really.”   Home can’t just be where we happen to be can it?

Home.  I am somewhere, in fact here; all else is elsewhere.  But were I elsewhere, the same here for here for here would be somewhere else.  This - the present - here, would be gone.  Here is home.  But were I in this elsewhere, with time, that would be home.  This place, this here, which is here, would be abroad.  Just as when I return to my origins.  I go back to where I grew up; and find that the place where I grew up, that it too is now abroad; that the home which it once represented is gone and exists only in vague memory.
