h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"it’s the not knowing that’s the hardest. Not knowing where’s “here” and being able to differentiate it from “there”. Not sure where exactly you’re the stranger. Somehow always on the outside. Too fractured to fit. Too many places to try to call home. Too many journeys."

Your words strike true - right into the heart, Ian. What a gloriously written account. Thanks for sharing it.

Wilma

Thanks Wilma .. much appreciated....

it was kind of catharctic writing it i must say....


ian

Yes, thanks, as Wilma said. Catharctic is how it reads and you have a real ability to share through words.

I have felt like this, and I know exactly what you mean about the smell, and the stars.

But now, it's more 'why choose'? Have both nests. Or, better, s0d nests. Who needs nests when there's the whole sky to be in.

good point ... very good point.....

nowadays that is my approach as well ...... though the identity issue is still a deep one.....

plus i like to explore the broken side of my soul much more than i do the whole side...... it's the celtic in me!

I just thought, on my way to bed, asyerdo, that although I left Africa for the last time 20 years ago, I carry the night noises with me... tinnitus, courtesy of decades of quinine



G'night

Didn't know quinine did that . My brother is bothered by tinnitus but is learning to 'tune it out'. He's aquiring quite a few tuned out attitudes.



Accordinging to some news headline I caught ( and didn't read properly) the celt inside may in fact be an inner Spanish Fisherman. Which is a x 3 thought. My Scots roots seem to go out to the islands on both sides and on both sides of Scotland. So I look to the Norse to cancel out the apparently Spanish.

I think I've given up on identity. What's the Earth equivalent of Martian?
