Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You absolutely can go home again. You can go back and visit the actual physical place, like I did when I went back to the South Side Chicago neighborhood of Brainerd a few years ago (check out my book about that at http://www.blurb.com/b/1361398-the-journey-home-returning-to-chicago); you can go back home through photographs like the one above, and you can go back home through your dreams, which I seem to do virtually every night these days. No matter which way you do it, it is a way to go back home, and I for one am all the richer for it. Does that make me a sensitive New Age kind of guy or what?
