THE HOUSE OF THE STRAYING PIGEON
For many centuries, up until the beginning of the last, 20th century, the sky over the North American continent was adorned with flocks of remarkably colorful birds, whose ruby-sapphire-emerald plumage long captivated numerous «aesthetes», «naturalists», «collectors», and simply lovers of shooting at something alive, until the last one was caught to decorate someone’s dusty, trophy-filled study with its stuffed body…
The bird was called Paloma migratoria – the Straying Pigeon.
About eighty years after this sad event, I named my multicolored dream of a home by the same name, firstly because a home can travel at the will of its owner, instantly appearing wherever his boundless imagination points and thus playfully eliminating the sad flaw of any other real estate – its innate immobility.
Secondly, because the straying pigeon does not exist, nor does my home. And there is no point in building it, especially after realizing: a person in this world has no reliable dwelling and cannot have one.
In the universe, our happy mind
Builds an unreliable home,
People, stars, and angels live
By its spherical tension.
We have not yet conceived a child,
But already beneath its feet
A film arches nowhere
In its circular orbit.
That is to say, strictly speaking, a person has no dwelling at all, except perhaps a fragile hut of their own imagination, constructed from their own feelings and thoughts in Absolute Emptiness. In this regard, the encouragement of Khalil Gibran seems very uplifting: let your home be not an anchor, but a sail.
Thus, the House of the Straying Pigeon became for me such a sail-dream, the wind in which is my own breath.
And if this idea resonates with someone else’s heart, I will be immensely happy.
