More and more people worldwide are living in countries not considered their own. Writer Pico Iyer -- who himself has three or four “origins” -- meditates on the meaning of home, the joy of traveling and the serenity of standing still.
This TED Talk today by travel writer Pico Iyer really struck a cord with me. He described how many global nomads take “pieces of many different places” and put them together to form a sense of home that is a “stained glass whole”.
He then went on to explain: "For more and more of us, home has really less to do with a piece of soil than, you could say, with a piece of soul."
If you have a moment, this video is worth watching. Home is definitely work in progress in our case.
