"A forty-four-year-old social worker spoke in one of my midlife workshops about how as a child she experienced a peculiar sensation of 'homesickness.' 'I couldn't have been more than five years old,' she told the class. 'But I had this sense that I didn't belong to the people I was living with - my family, the house where I lived, the other kids in kindergarten. I felt like I had come from another world. I felt that somehow I'd been plunked down in the midst of these strangers as a test or trial. The feeling was like being homesick, and was so real it frightened me."
