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.

Exactly. To arrive where we started and know the place for the first time, as the guy says.
lovely to hear from you, as always. Looking forward to Dead Country.
Thanks so much!
