And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet,
and learn to be at home.
― Wendell Berry, The Unforeseen Wilderness: Kentucky’s Red River Gorge
My favorite place to be is here in my home. I am trying to learn to be at home wherever I find myself, but it is kind of scary.
Home is where the heart is. It is indeed scary outside our element. We just like cats. Tee hee….
Love this Perpetua…thanks.

As I age and take care of father and live in new town and don’t know much of area I am learning to reduce my area of place and be at home most of time reading and drawing and cooking.
Reading, drawing, cooking not necessarily in that order in a new town, may you feel at home with your Dad
