ATDDTA (6) 163:16 - 165--Home

[Ande]

165.2    "There are stories,  like maps that agree ...  too consistent 
among too many languages to be only wishful thinking.  It is always a 
hidden place.  The geography is as much spiritual as it is physical.  If 
you should happen upon it, your strongest certainty is not that you have 
discovered it but returned to it.  In a single great episode of light, 
you remember everything."

"Home"

Preceded by the "matter of the invisible taking on substance"  this may 
be my favourite (albeit sentimental)  line in the book thus far--and 
while I haven't finished, certainly seems to allude to later scenes in 
Tibet.  I will at some future time explore  the quest for Home, and all 
that is implied---beginning with the Chums entry flying over the heartland..

I also want to comment that my initial reaction to Fleetwood and Kit 
looking back at NYC, through the ';gateway" of Queens, "the radial 
shafts of light"--the "two minute sky" (photographers again)  seemed to 
me to balance our last, dark images of the "doleful City"....
