Opinions & Notes Title
“A Narrative Inquiry in Search of My Home”
Abstract
I write about my ordinary life to reconstitute my life, to express my regard for my ancestors, and to search for a home. I explore the notion of home in five dimensions: my actual home, my rented home, my intellectual home, my emotional home, and my spiritual home. This narrative inquiry concludes that a human being’s home is not terrestrial but cosmic and spiritual.
