Everywhere and Nowhere

Nothing will ever deprive you of your home. Because your home is scattered far and wide, and you will find it reflected everywhere you look. Because it is not something so mutable and impermanent as a house or a city, much less a country, but an intricate tapestry of memories and relationships richer and more magnificent than anything history and geography, much less mere parochial nationalisms or politicians, can even conceive of.
So don't be sad. Because it really is only a formality. A pushing-around of a few inconsequential bits of paper. It can't affect the web that will hold you firm and rooted in the slightest, unless you choose to let it.
