A note: my schedule for teaching has changed, so I will not be able to post until after 6 pm, Seoul time — so expect posts at about this time for at least another month.
I think I have gone far. Mostly while sitting alone, in a room, did I travel great distances out into the astral and ethereal planes. I have gone inside the earth, to Heaven, and to Hell. But though I did so go, I have not been to the place, I think, where I always needed to be. I have written of this before: where is home? I go in my earthly life to this place, and that, but it always seems only halfway there, halfway to the settlement where my heart may find true peace. That is the place where I have always meant to go, and have missed only by fractions sometimes. I be the wanderer who hopes to stop his meandering, vaguely toward somewhere he has only ever heard stories of — as far back that he remembers. Home. I think I have gone far, but have farther still yet to go.

This place of dreams of wholesome bread and comforts drawn from all that is familiar, this place where yearning ceases and heart burst with breathing life, this place called home within whose orb you search for belonging surrounds you forever in her arms.
