RE: "Place of Power:" Little Black Seeds, a Mild Trip, and an Important Realization
Interesting concept, "place of power". It can get complicated, though, when even on your "backyard" you lose all power or freedom (that's why most people migrate, even though they know they will never belong to the new place).
True, the grass always looks greener on the neighbor's lawn.
Also tru nobody learns from someone else's experience. You have to hit the wall yourself
It is always too late that we get to that realization (in love, business, friendship, you name it).
What is it exactly that gives us a sense of power? or belonging? what makes a place our place?
That is an interesting question. I called it my place of power because I had friends and networks there, I knew the city, and I knew what the culture was like. Those things are a literal source of "power" in a community. In a broader sense, I think it is a place where one can be happy and prosper. One may need to find it or it may be their home to begin with. It is, ultimately, up to the individual to find his or her place.
That is a excellent answer.
