So wonderful Rose. Home is so profound and multiple and inner!
Here’s from an earlier piece of mine:
“The personal has always been political. And as we look at our fractured countries, angry voices and divided genders, home is where the heart is formed and found. Love is what will save us all in the end. Lack of it the deepest wound. And courage the will to try and find it, feed it and nurture it. So that you can pass it on.”
I know exactly what you mean! I, too, can call several places home, while not feeling completely 'right' or 'settled' in any of them. And I, too, have that egg cutter from my parents' home. It's very, very precious to me. Thank you for another great piece of writing!
There is something about the geography of people. I too am from the northern region of my country. People from the north are very different from those in the east, west and south. Like you, Northerners are my people, and I’m grateful to have my home amongst them.
this is lovely as ever - I resonate deeply - the chord sings, with your mothers longing for home. I know that at some subertannean level I sing that song too, that I always have since I breathed my first breath and found myself in the fields of absence.

Great to hear from you and your own interpretation of home.
I’m just looking for a new home, so am deep into this theme right now. Not to mention Rightmove!
Dazzling piece. I am dazzled by its beauty, honesty, familiarity... thank you. And, for bringing home that tennis ball to my doorstep!!! xxxxxxxxx
Thanks Doe. I appreciate that. xx

Aw thanks Clare. Good to hear from you as always. And amazing that you too have an old egg cutter. A profound object from the past...

Yes there really is something about the geography of people. Good to hear from you...

That is a poem in itself... I think we all sing it in some way...
Such a lovely place about home and where it is! thank you, Rose! Reverberated for me on many levels.
