The home

by Bob on September 18, 2007

Home. An amazing concept. We are comfortable with it, and happy. Without it we are, for the most part, lost in our hearts. For home, according to most wise people, is where we hang our heart. Where we want to go. Where we take solace. Where we really want to be in our free hours of life.

Coldplay sang a song called "Clocks" and in it there are lyrics which say "Home, Home, where I wanted to go..." That's how the song ends in refrain.

What happens when someone doesn't have a home ? Even if they have a house or apartment, or property ? But their heart isn't anywhere.

Oh well, the great Spanish painter Salvador Dali painted "The Persistence of Memory" in 1931. It's related to time dilution or dilation or non-existence.

Home. Where I wanted to go.
