I am always amazed when I read something and it is just "spot on". It gives words to my feelings and that's what Marina did so well. I hope she keeps writing.DrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-2506996656856703702012-11-15T21:59:04.561+01:002012-11-15T21:59:04.561+01:00Spot on to what I feel and have felt all my life! ...Spot on to what I feel and have felt all my life!

When I was 3 we moved to ...., then we moved to ..... etc. The challenge with the pebble analogy is to feel a "whole person", even though your cultural identity is fragmented.DrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-78379761662835809682012-08-02T06:04:13.329+02:002012-08-02T06:04:13.329+02:00Wonderful timing, as I had just written about &quo...Wonderful timing, as I had just written about "Where is home" but of course not as poetically. What got me started was reflecting on that very question of "where are you from" where your poem says you've learned the short answer. I also love the pebbles analogy. It's so true.Sinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971554811306102478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-42141652438228055592012-07-31T07:27:07.706+02:002012-07-31T07:27:07.706+02:00@Windmilltales I agree with you that it is a beaut...@Windmilltales I agree with you that it is a beautiful poem.
