CYNEFIN (Pronounced - kuh-neh-vin)
my home
my place
my #nature
my tribe
my heart
my roots
my heritage
the place I always long to return too
The word ‘cynefin’ is wrapped in layers of meaning. A Welsh noun with no direct equivalent in English, its origins lie in a farming term used to describe the habitual tracks and trails worn by animals in hillsides.
The word has since morphed & deepened to conjure a very personal sense of place, belonging & familiarity.
