Estranged from what is Alien

It may almost be said that my preBelief life was a foreshadowing, or,
a forelightening of my belief life. During childhood my constant
companion was the notion that I was out of place. As an adult in my
belief life I know that this world is not my place. I am in place
only at my home, somewhere I have not yet been. I think it would be
treason to try and make myself at home in this alien world.

( A slip in manners is forgivable at home, in private. Travelers,
however, are always to be on their best behaviour or there will be
trouble when they get home! )
