Looking for a new nest?
Is our home a place of refuge from the outside world?
But what if the world was our home, where is the refuge then?
Room with a view….and a well used basin!

Broken Home
09 Tuesday Apr 2013
Thought provoking, as ever, Jac. ‘Home’ indeed should be a refuge, but when there is no refuge, maybe home is the sense of companionship we have with others around us, or, failing that, pure strength of spirit.
Your post made me think of the people who are abandoned in ports by unscrupulous boat owners, who have no place to call home: Patrice Terraz has documented their lives and is showing his exhibition right now at the Side Gallery. Fancy a trip?

Home is such an evocative word with so many frames of reference and your suggestion of companionship is wonderful.
Side Gallery – yes, I recall the artist at the gallery talking about it and it sounded very interesting, so time permitting it would be great to go.
