Oh my! Your opening words just clicked with me in a way I could never have anticipated. I am not a "displaced person." My movements have been voluntary within my own country (USA). But your words - " I too, like many folks who travelled across oceans, am hungry to know where origin lives in me." - and the direction you took in your reflection provided an opening in me that I would never have expected. I hope I can sit with these thoughts for awhile and create an opening in myself to examine my own origins. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I find your point so important: yearning for origin is not just within displaced persons, but really anyone navigating change. In unstable or different times, we look to what makes up our inner structure, so that it can guide and offer comfort. I always found that creating things is like a little link to that constantly-evolving inner origin. I am so excited by the openings you are creating in yourself - I hope you find a lot of beauty in them! -Sasha
