Tanya, this piece resonated so deeply with me, especially your exploration of hiraeth. That feeling of longing for a home that might not exist, or a past that’s gone, is something I’ve wrestled with more than once. It’s funny how we think we’re so modern in our quests for belonging, but as you beautifully put it, these are ancient, honored journeys.
I've found my own cynefin in unexpected places over the years, often when I least expected it. It wasn't always a geographical location; sometimes it was a community of like-minded souls, or even a moment of profound personal clarity. Your writing really highlights that the search for belonging isn't just about finding a physical spot on a map, but about cultivating an inner landscape that feels like home, no matter where you are.
