Heartland



I should feel an affiliation to a visible geographical space; somewhere that depicts the history of my child-hood perhaps or somewhere that holds fond memories of a sweetheart or family members but somehow just at the point when my heart wants to claim that special place, a new experience or a new situation comes up and I am swept away albeit temporarily in a magical flight of newness and tranquility. That temporary feeling can be obtained when I am close to nature but yet my heart yearns for something more, something indescribable, something unattainable in the space inhabited by the physical. Maybe there is a part of me that would not dare to cling to any physical space because of the innate knowledge my heart possesses that tells me that man has made a mess of it all and very soon homes and habitations will be swept away to a place of no return. The Ozone layer will impact more and more and we will be left with little to treasure in this physical space.
