Many points resonate: you embrace aloneness, but then you start to belong... 40 years in Russia, 20 years in Sydney, 5 years in Japan, last two are my Homes with Japan slowly approaching superior “this is it” ranking

That O'Donohue extract *really* resonates! I grew up moving countries every few years with my parents' work, and now I spend my life travelling solo. Home is where I sleep that night, but it's also all the places I've left my heart along the way -- Hoi An, Shinjuku, Florence, CDMX... I'm at home both everywhere and nowhere, which is incredibly liberating. And it's never lonely, because I'm always with me. Thanks for all your lovely writing, I can't tell you how much I look forward to your updates!
