As most people have been posting, home is the city of Tucson. It is where I grew up, though never in one "place" absolultely. We moved a lot when I was a child and therefore, home was where ever we made it, or could afford it. Home is where my roots are. I wasn't born in Tucson, but like I said, it's where I grew up.
"Home changes. Illusions change. People change. Time moves on." This is my current situation. I have moved away from my home, and now I am trying to make a home away from home. My illusions are now with the home I left and I will be changing drastically while I'm away, as are my sisters and my mother. Time NEVER stops, and that's what sucks sometimes or is tricky, because this is what causes people to change inevitably, but of course with other influences.
"Home is where one starts from....we shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrrive where we started, and know the place for the first time."
"Home is at once more intimate and more isolated than place."
"Anyplace can be the center of the world."
The main idea of this piece as I understood it, is the fact that the last quote portrays, that home, or our "center" is wherever we put it, with our surroundings in our peripherials. We can make our center wherever we are, or we can keep it as one and explore our peripherials, which is what the majority of us do I think, and have a temporary center.
Overall, I enjoyed this piece more than any of the ones we have read already. I felt I could relate and understand it more.
