Our earliest home is the womb, so first homes were encompassing like that: caves, mud huts in Africa, tepees.
We project home on to places that are not a house, such as being with a close friend or in a city we particularly love. Home is belonging, contentment, but also freedom — in its positive associations. To be homeless is associated with rootlessness, restlessness, emptiness, longing.
