The snail holds the key - we carry our true home with us - and for me that is the heart - or in home/house terms add one letter and you have the hearth - home (cliché or not) is where the heart is...:)
"Home is a process." How incredibly beautiful this all is!
I just received bell hooks's book "Belonging," which is about home and belonging, and am looking forward to delving into these kinds of thoughts. I feel like what you're saying here will resonate there.
Just saw this comment! bell hook's will always be one of my all time favourite contemporary writers. I've purchased "Belonging" but haven't had the chance to read it yet. Reading her academic and non-academic work over the years has made me want to visit Kentucky some day, just to immerse myself in those words.
It is so true; home is the place of contentment that we carry within ourselves and share with those who love us best. This was such a graceful essay,: I relished every word of it. 🏡

So very true! The heart is the core of existence. Heart and Heart(h) is something I'll be thinking more deeply about.
