2. There is another sense in which
learning can be coming home,
for the process of learning turns
a strange context into a familiar
one, and finally into a habitation
of mind and heart. The world we
live in is the one we are able to
perceive; it becomes gradually
more intelligible and more
accessible with the building up
of coherent mental models.
Learning to know a community or a landscape is a homecoming.
Creating a vision of that community or landscape is homemaking.
