New life update #blog post!!
I'm in a transitional period in my life, moving from #Germany to #Spain, and I wanted to express more deeply what the immigration experience means for me. As well as what home means.
I've structured my post to mirror #Virgil's #Aeneid, taking inspiration also from #UrsulaLeGuin's #TheDispossed and #Dante's #inferno.
The journey I want to talk about involves geographical displacement, but the real distance travelled takes place inside.

A quotation from Ursula K. Le Guin
It’s like all the time I was working keeping house and raising the kids and making love and earning our keep I thought there was going to come a time or there would be some place where all of it came together. Like it was words I was saying, all my life, all the kinds of work, just a word here and a word there, but finally all the words would make a sentence, and I could read the sentence. I would have made my soul and know what it was for. But I have made my soul and I don’t know what to do with it. Who wants it?
