I am more and more comfortable in each of many places, more a dweller of the earth rather than just of my hometown, more restful to sleep in a new place, less anxious to travel far away, more understanding of people different from myself and places different from where I was raised, there is a feeling of comfort and safety in one’s own home, the lack of which is what we call home sickness.

I am less homesick nowadays for my home is bigger. I imagine I might be homesick to leave earth, to travel in space or visit another planet, but now I have learned to stretch myself and learn and adapt and even far away from earth I would only be homesick for a little while until I made friends with aliens and learned to walk in less gravity, just like I learned to make friends with different cultures on earth and be healthy in different climates.

And my primal self is more relaxed, less anxious for my safety and food security. In large part this is due to the modern economy and ease of transportation and scale of food supply in America. I am thankful for the opportunity to see and live in so much of such a beautiful world.
