Jeff,

Great great post. I too have been thinking a lot about home. What is it? What does it mean to me? I have moved around so much that I can't remember the last place I lived that gave me a feeling of home. I know that each time I travel and come back to Phoenix I always feel home.

I just bought a home. The construction is supposed to be finished soon and by the end of November we are supposed to be able to move into the new house. I have been wonderfing if once in the home will I feel at home, or will it take time?

I have started to wonder, am I looking in the wrong direction for the wrong feeling? Is this sense of home really just a safe feeling I can find inside, or find when I am with my partner?

I wonder.....

Jenn

ps. i love the new paintings.

Home. She is strange indeed, jenn. I've put so much work into the new place, been there months now, starting a new life there, as many pieces of myself as I can, really. It still lacks the vibe of "Home". It's still more "house". I'm working on that too, though.
Perhaps when the Work of Kings is finally completed, it will feel like Home. Much of what made my last place Home was recording work. And the new 'stead will be where Kings will be mixed. So perhaps that will help accelerate its transition into Home...

I'm reminded of a song by you. on a tape. that I play in my old mercedes tapedeck. I don't know the song but the part is of you moaning.. or sobbing.. or sighing..
come home, come home... come home.. ....then... fuck.
that always still makes my throat clench.
also. I have a painting for you.
