Bottle of Red...Bottle of White....  — 3 months ago

I belong on Loomis Street, in Chicago, Illinois. I belong on the big red front steps, where my dahlias will grow in pots, and I will look across the street at Arrigo Park. I belong on the same block as the baker who gives me a cannolli and knows my name. I belong where I can write my book, take long walks, and enjoy the seasons as they grow and change just as we do.

I belong where somebody wants to hold me hand, love me, and enjoy all of these things with me. This is simple, really.

It’s interesting: belonging to something that you are not currently, actually, part of, versus what that reflection is like now that you are part of that…belonging: when what you are (the subjective) interfaces with the acknowledgment of what you are in in the external, some objective reality of sorts. Is it like staring into space, only to find that it was you all along, and in that mirror, finding that the world looks back in a dead stare? In the outer world we find ourselves more deeply than ever before in the resolute urgency to get back into the center, some semblance of familarity, truth, namely ourselves, while in the farther, more stranger, regions of our wanderings.
