Hi Allen, I cannot remember where exactly, possibly that terrible/terrifying
set of lectures 'Introduction to Metaphysics', Heidegger states that the
human home(coming) is homeless; that this autocthony business is groundless
and homeless; we float, hung by nothing twixt earth and sky, and all that
yearning for belonging to some earthy soil (rootedness) is a falsification
and covering of that essential unbelongingness and rootless and ruthless
existence we are; so much blood spilt split between the dark swallowing
gravity of earth and the sad open infinity of space...

regards

michaelP
