Quote

If someone asks about my abode, I reply: The east edge of the Milky Way. Like a drifting cloud, bound by nothing, I just let go.

Note

This response to questions about home points to a life unattached to fixed location or identity. It leans toward an internal standard—suggesting that freedom comes from releasing attachment rather than securing possessions or position. The cosmic address and cloud metaphor emphasize vastness and movement over permanence. This wisdom invites lightness and flexibility in how we relate to place and self.
