A HILL TO STAND ON

Belonging.

1. A hill to stand on.

There is a place we are each from. The land our ancestors tilled, actual earth our histories are rooted in. But the world has become small and as we move across it the physicality of belonging has become lost but for some, for others it remains.

Those still in their place, still cradled in their homelands, radiate a sense of self that is alien to the visiting other. Those with a hill to stand on, ride at the end of a long and unbroken blade of grass, while those uprooted dig desperately trying to re-plant themselves.

The journey for both is one of preservation, to pass on their place to the next generation. Home is where we are rooted, it’s where we have always been and always will be.
