I always imagined heroes, villains, Socrates, adventurers, Benjamin, Christ and his disciples, etc. to be folks who were defined somewhat by their simple need for a place to stay for the night; who didn’t have anywhere else to go; who had long ago ceased understanding the concept of “home.” Home, after all, is a moot point when you’re fighting good, bad, evil, or yourself. After a long enough time surfing around, I find that I very much enjoy a strange couch, bed, floor, whatever, as much as my back and neck do not. Perhaps, after a long enough stay away from my own rented living space, it too will become just another provider of a temporary surface for my hard-to-settle head.
