hey siri, play homeward bound - simon & garfunkel psy remix?
from across a coupla oceans, still on a west coast, just over the hills and far away, in calabria, italy. with ever-wide eyes that watch the ever-widening horizon around me.
growing up with shaky roots means i’ve always been a floater. on the one hand, nothing tied me down. on the other, i always questioned whether i ever felt ‘belonging’ wherever i went. but with incredible distance, physically and mentally, strangely, traces of those roots have started to re-surface.
how much i long for that ocean that’s seen the extremities of all my emotions.
the trees that bend at the strangest angles, and all fit together perfectly, as they have for an eternity.
the sunlight, pacifying me with its unbelievable strength.
a land that holds much wisdom. people that hold a lightness of heart.
a casual and endearing ridiculousness reverberates everywhere. i can’t quite put my finger on it, but it permeates it’s pulse through me.
home is where the heart is. right now my heart pounds deafeningly loud like a pack of karaks.
allora, time to float on. see you soon when the sun comes out for 🌸
