Home is an immovable extension of the self. It is a fixed place where you can be found and by which you can be identified (at best) and categorised (at worst). This cocoon can also be a cage—the external can impose itself on the inner dimensions that live in the shadow cast by the construct that casts an automatic and appropriately corresponding identity onto the occupant who either—willingly or unwittingly—accepts this projection based on certain triggers. It can feel safe to accept an identity based on others’ perceptions, even if not entirely comfortable. When the inner (psyche) falters, glitches, or outright fails, it can be exonerated of responsibility to recalibrate because it’s easier to simply default to the established facade rather than do the required inner work that will motivate fluidity and flexible mutations. It’s too easy to remain static.

Nomading is a space of no fixed place—it is more autonomous because the movement defies the attempts of others to project a reality of who you are, based on what makes them feel safe. It can feel less comfortable as an uncategorised identity because of the constant flow of self-interpretation, self-sovereignty, and corresponding accountability. This is where the psyche can be fully mutable—There Is Neither a fixed location to be ‘found’ nor a static inner dimension. The inner being (psyche) must be adaptable and resilient due to the dynamism and expansion in and of the constantly changing outer reality and resonance. There is no way of staying the same an any level because of the need to survive and thrive through constant and continuous recalibration to all that the psyche is exposed to.
