The Names of the Lost HomeEden, Heaven, ParadiseWords inked in longing.We’ve been exiled from so many homes and in our search and longing we name them.Eden. Paradise. Heaven.They are not synonyms.They are echoes.And each one leads somewhere different.Eden is a garden.The name comes from the Sumerian edin: “plain” or “steppe.”A place of innocence. It holds the origin.What do we do with origins?We leave them.And for the rest of our lives, we try to write our way back.Paradise is from Persian pairi-daeza: “walled garden.” A contained place of beauty.But paradise always seems to have a border - to keep someone outside.Heaven isn’t quite a place. Not really. It’s an idea of verticality. Of above, of beyond. An unreachable celestial realm.We carry these names in literature like heirlooms.Homes to long for…Homes to rebel against…And we write stories around their absences and promises.Eden is what we left.Paradise is what we envision.Heaven is what we hope for … or refuse.#WanderlustPressImprint #wanderlustpress_imprint #TheNamesOfLostPlaces #englishliterature #classicalliterature #dante #milton #literaryreflections #musings #eden #paradise #heaven #InkOfMyHeart #LiteratureOfExile #PoeticsOfParadise #felixculpa *background images are created by AI*
