I believe we agree on that. As for the illusion of home, I am simply saying that many of us take so much security in the places we call home that we allow them to define us. What is home but the place where you keep all your stuff and people you know are able to find you? When you are truly on your own in an unfamiliar place with no one to help you find your way in life, you find out what you're made of. Speaking from experience, I can say that the thing you call home can be pulled out from beneath your feet at any given moment. If you rely too much on that, you can never be truly independent. If you want to know which truths of your self you are trying to escape, you will find them when you have no home. Then you will not yearn for escape. Sometimes, the truths of the self are all that you have.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11821698177456518051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811719312494990925.post-52464314842783877702006-11-20T04:30:00.000-08:002006-11-20T04:30:00.000-08:00Why ought one be displaced from the illusion of "home"? Certainly there is a distinction between geographical places and places of the self. I think it is precisely Emerson's point that one ought not ever feel away from home, because home can be the location of the self, where the truth lies that we sometimes seek (though Emerson says we fail) to escape. For me, then, it is not about being displaced, but about being confident in the knowledge that I am home with myself wherever it is I may be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811719312494990925.post-14008274483236746282006-11-18T15:17:00.000-08:002006-11-18T15:17:00.000-08:00Earth is my home. Divinely decorated with life. It is not about escape. It's about BEING. If it is true that wherever you go, there you are; then I imagine the greatest moments of self discovery occur when we are displaced from the illusion of "home".Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11821698177456518051noreply@blogger.com
