Hiraeth and I2/4/2017
1 Comment Hiraeth is a Welsh word for which there is no English translation. It’s a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was. I haven’t really ventured to many places that I can call homesickness, however I do remember times I wish that I could go back to and that’s standing in my Nana's kitchen watching her baking cakes and pies from scratch. I remember pouring in the flower while she threw in the eggs and butter. The blending machine was steady running while all of the ingredients blend together. Hiraeth to me is like losing a big part of your childhood that you can’t get back. I had a childhood friend that I haven’t seen in over decades, “ thank God for Google!” I just wanted to see if I could find her and I did. She, now resigns in Palm Springs California. My point is I yearn to see friends that I haven’t seen in years. A part of me was gone when we separated, so when we connected on facebook, it was like she never left and it felt good to be able to connect with her again, and even though we are long distance we will always keep in touch. Hiraeth also to me was my writing in music. I lost touch in my writing music by getting caught up in other things that didn’t really help me in my life it more so was a disaster and caused what could have been is now never going to happen. When I would write music it was very deep, and it mainly was about love, and how to love, and wanting to be loved. I get homesick sometimes just thinking about it. I still want to write love songs, but I just don’t have the time write now. Hiraeth can be a beautiful thing or it can be a sad thing who knows. 1 Comment
