This post was especially meaningful as I prepare to move my family from a place that's been "home" for 13 years. I'm already feeling the nostalgia and sensing the loss of home, even as we look for the next place that will be home. I think we all carry Home in our hearts and in our senses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1144778764139191042006-04-11T20:06:00.000+02:002006-04-11T20:06:00.000+02:00I think so Mark ...

And it describes my feeling ..that of being homesick for a place that is NOT my home but came to feel Home in some mysterious way. YOur writing helps me to understand that feeling.

I'm glad it struck a chord with you.<BR/><BR/>Favourite books ... well, I've read everything in the 'My library' list to the left at the top of the blog. If you click on that it should take you into my collection.<BR/><BR/>Favourite fiction ... <BR/>'Under the Tuscan Sun' Frances Mayes, <BR/>'Fugitive Pieces' by Anne Michaels<BR/>'The Eight' by Katherine Neville<BR/>'Foucoult's Pendulum' by Umberto Eco<BR/><BR/>I read a lot of travel, biography and climbing books though. I just realised when I was trying to name the fiction ... so many of my favourites are non-fiction.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope that's a little helpful. :)Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1144416837398331122006-04-07T15:33:00.000+02:002006-04-07T15:33:00.000+02:00Perhaps a place is just like any other.

Maybe what makes it a home is a sense of belonging that comes embroiled in a receipe that includes warm memories, good friends, and a feeling of belonging without trying. Perhaps, given time, more than one place can become a home?Mark Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322306919563155381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1144416244336201972006-04-07T15:24:00.000+02:002006-04-07T15:24:00.000+02:00Thanks for writing this.

As the Melissa Etheridge song goes, "Home is a feeling I've buried in you", any place you are feels a bit more familiar when you're with the one you love.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to ask you if you had a good reading (fiction) suggestion. I love your writing style, and I thought you'd be a good person to ask...<BR/><BR/>Thanks. And thanks for your blog, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
