today i am feeling very homesick, but you know i am not in any hurry to distract myself from this feeling...the meaning of a thing is not just the pleasure that it brings you, but also, i think, how much it hurts when it is taken away....i don't wish to weaken its hold over me, i wish to always remain spellbound, a child of oran.
( cut for image )i miss mostly the smell...i think because the desert here is reminiscent, but not quite....my home smelled of hot, dry air and sandstone, saltwater and petrol, roasted lamb, citrus, smoke and ashes. what did your home smell like?
