On Mobility....

"Like nomads we moved with the seasons....As with the seasons, each move offered something to look forward to while something had to be given up...We learned early that 'Home' was an ambiguous concept, and, wherever we lived, some essential part of our lives was always someplace else. So we were always of two minds. We learned to be happy and sad at the same time. We learned to be independent and accept that things were out of our control...We had security and consolation that whenever we left one place we were returning to another, already familiar one."
