What's your relationship to the Earth?

Gaia Team — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 07:00:00 GMT

"That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."

-- Carl Sagan.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the house (or houses) in which you grew up? Is it a room? A particular rug? The way the third stair creaked on the way up to your room? What do remember about the first house you knew?

For how long have you been living in your current home?

Siona — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:00:00 GMT

For how long have you lived in the place you are now? How long did it take for it to feel like home (or does it)? What does it take for a place to feel like it's yours, or as though you belong there?
