I do think itโs only by stopping movement that you can see where to go. And itโs only by stepping out of your life and the world that you can see what you most deeply care aboutโฆ and find a home.
Pico Iyer...home lies in the things you carry with you everywhere and not the ones that tie you down.
Pico IyerI am simply a fairly typical product of a movable sensibility, living and working in a world that is itself increasingly small and increasingly mongrel. I am a multinational soul on a multinational globe on which more and more countries are as polyglot and restless as airports. Taking planes seems as natural to me as picking up the phone or going to school. I fold up my self and carry it around as if it were an overnight bag.
Pico IyerSuffering is a privilege. It moves us toward thinking of essential things and shakes us out of complacency. Calamity cracks you open, moves you to change your ways.
