how do travelers come to be and what is my home?ontologically speaking, home is the center of the world, the foundation rock, the solid real to build upon. For John Berger, home is where two axes meet. the vertical axis connects the sky and the underworld; this is a spiritual axis while the horizontal one are all possible roads across earth to different places. to be at home is to be at the intersection – to have firm cultural bearings (be close to the gods and the dead, and to have access to both) and a place to return to after a journey. for a  migrant, a traveller, the vertical line is broken while she drifts across a lonely plane of the horizontal. this loss is a way to fragmentation, a move into unreality with the only salvation to be found in the act of imagination, of repetition of stories and gestures.
