Chapter 1: The Quest for Home

Where do you define your home, or are you still on a quest? Is it located in a cherished memory, a hopeful vision for the future, your current residence, or perhaps with those who hold your heart?

Reflecting on memories can reveal intricate ties, some forming knots while others create bows, stemming from homes that were fleeting or unfamiliar.

Do you embark on a search, as I once did, both within the confines of your walls and beyond your doorstep?

Photos, slides, and audio recordings capture long-felt connections that seem to pass in an instant. I find myself in these images, recalling my thoughts as I strive for the present, silencing the negative chatter in my mind.

Within the sanctuary of my creativity, I've crafted a space that feels both protective and inviting.

The essence of my home doesn't require numerous rooms; rather, its beauty lies in the joy of ascending to new heights, where sunlight pours in like an artist's brush, illuminating every corner.

My spiral staircase reveals untouched vistas, as I continue to draft and sketch without fear of critique.

Support others on their journeys; cherish their companionship and extend an invitation to share the path.

Keep your guiding light shining bright, allowing freedom for exploration, while offering to accompany those seeking safe harbor.

As you navigate towards the sensation your body recognizes as home, may your path steer clear of perilous rocks.

Feeling at home is intertwined with who I am and the adventures I undertake.

With my eyes covered, yet hands unrestrained, I smile as I bring color to my close quarters.

I’ve set aside cherished spots for you as my esteemed guest, and I humbly hope to honor your presence.

My heart and mind have discarded the constraints of conventionality, constructing a home with both care and fervor.

Ultimately, the connections you foster far outweigh the physical space you occupy, especially when you find it hard to rest either your head or heart. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
