thoughts on home

Faustin Linyekula, Congolese dancer and choreographer, at the YBCA 3 months ago:
"For many years in exile I thought: Perhaps my only true country is my body."

My friend John, on the indoor pollution of his flat, and the resulting asthma he's struggling with:
"It's bad enough to lose your home. But to lose your true home - your breath - is terrifying."

On Kenya Airways flights, all the announcements and info are in both English and Kiswahili. "Local Time At Destination" is rendered in Kiswahili as "Saa Ya Kinyumbani Ya Mwisho Wa Safari."

Which translates literally to: "The time of the home at the end of the journey."
