Occasionally German compound words capture with simplicity and accuracy a particular\u00a0state of affairs. Heimweh<\/em> denotes aching for home, (weh<\/em> being a term the describes pain rather than simply longing). In contrast Fernweh<\/em> describes an ache to explore the faraway. I am not familiar with a single English term that fits this concept, even though homesickness exists. Fernweh\u00a0is more than\u00a0Wanderlust.\u00a0\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

For anyone who lives between worlds there must come\u00a0a point when the target of Heimweh<\/em>\u00a0shifts from the old country to the chosen one. At least, that is, if you made the right choice and live where you want to live, as I do. Oregon is home, has been for many decades.<\/p>\n

I am going to give a lecture today to a group of young refugees and\/or people with a migratory background and will ask them if they have reached that point. Or if that is a desirable goal for them at all, given that their migration has not necessarily been voluntary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In any case, today’s photographs of ships and boats symbolized for me things that trigger Fernweh, <\/em>and looking at the sky, the sight of planes triggers Heimweh.\u00a0<\/em>Luckily I\u00a0will sit in one tomorrow on my way home…..<\/p>\n

Hamburg, world port, the river its lifeline, offers more views of boat than a single photographer could possibly capture. I do keep trying, though.<\/p>\n

Below is part of Brahms’#2 – He was a son of Hamburg – during the opening concert of the Elbphilharmony, the building you can see in the cover photo.<\/p>\n
