Where does exile begin?<br /><br />I should make clear I wasn't actually born in Halifax - it's just one of the many places I've lived. I started out in Lincolnshire. Have I been living in exile from Lincolnshire ever since I was 6ish?

To have to be forced to leave ones home and not be allowed to return is terrible. And then one day, when you go back, you realize the home you once let is not there anymore and that realization is terrible, as then you are truly forever homeless...<br />I also have met people Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22054788.post-68077347448195495102010-12-12T03:42:11.587+00:002010-12-12T03:42:11.587+00:00thanks for such a thought provoking post.... your ...thanks for such a thought provoking post.... your meditation and musings on exile are multi-dimensional.<br /><br />there have been many, many times in my life where i've felt like an exile in my homeland.....<br /><br />exile....home....two very powerful concepts<br /><br />sad that bryce died suddenly so young - maybe 40 years ago 63 seemed old but now at 55 it is just around the bend<br />mouse (aka kimy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09385557065971602436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22054788.post-62766219107161171742010-12-12T02:27:47.358+00:002010-12-12T02:27:47.358+00:00Tony,

Maybe some of us find that, a bit, for while, in moments of respite, during our personal life.<br /><br />Nice music, both.
