I've been listening to The Chronicles of Narnia books on CD as I've been driving back and forth between Prescott, and the story I listened to yesterday was A Horse and His Boy. What I was attending to most was the theme of "unbelonging" that wove itself throughout the different character plots, relating to the feeling, but also searching for some insight into my own journey.
How does a person resolve an experience of unbelonging?
I've been thinking a lot about this feeling, but mostly because I'm sorting through what this "belonging" thing means in its most basic form. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to determine when I actually DO belong.
How does a person know they belong? Is there a different set of feelings or defining criteria if it's a person versus a place? Or is there a similar process involved?
I don't have answers...just questions and curiosities...and absolute certainties that I am going to learn all about belonging as I make my way to the land of my roots.
