Where is Home?
I just got back from another invigorating coffee morning with some wonderful new friends. This morning, sharing our coffees, we brought our backgrounds from Switzerland, Russia, America, Australia, and Scotland. How fantastic is that?
I’m obsessed with people’s back story. How long have they lived in Switzerland, where were they born, are they moving back, when, and how do they know? How do people know when or if to move home? Where do they consider home?
We are so lucky to wonder, wander, and travel this world. We get to talk endlessly about our hopes and dreams. All I know now is I have so much more of Europe to explore while it’s right at my doorstep.
That’s why this TED talk by Pico Iyer on “Where is Home?” is so fantastic. Stillness. And home. Straight to the gut.
If I sat in stillness, what would I think? If no one told me their grand plans, what would I do? I want to enjoy this adventure and all the adventures to come and not try to ground myself somewhere when I don’t think that’s what I really want anyway. For now, I live in Zürich. I have no idea what is to come. All I know is we have many more adventures ahead.
Where is home for you?
