Coming home

That greatest of world-wanderers, Odysseus in Homer's classical Greek poem, wanted no honor or victory more than the "fair wind" that would bring him to the "honey lights of home."

Home means as much to most of us. And getting back to a single room or tiny flat can mean as much as coming home to a mansion.

The home to which many so passionately want to return may be only a tent or a hovel. Television pictures recently showed Eritrean soldiers walking hundreds of miles to go back to barren, starving villages.
