Love this as always :) The post reminds me of that very visceral, yet small, return home from vacations or school trips, where it was a short enough trip that home was still largely the same, warm, familiar -- and the larger, more difficult (I might almost say traumatic) return home as an adult, to a place that is no longer truly my home even if it is the place I grew up. And the slow realization of the need (and the work) to rediscover this new/old place to keep it part of you.

lovely to hear from you, as always. Looking forward to Dead Country.
