pico iyer: where is home?
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.
I stumbled across this 14-minute video yesterday, and it resonated with me so deeply, I couldn't wait to share it with you all. Granted, the reason it struck me so profoundly is likely because I'm a Trinidadian who has spent much of her life in the US, married to a Brit, and raising our multiracial American daughter, but I suspect that anyone who is living in a place that is different from where s/he was born will find some truth in Pico Iyer's words.
It's worth the 14-minute watch -- simply click here on the image above to start the video. And I'd love to hear your thoughts about what he has to say.
