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 --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
