RUBBERHOME
As it is my nature to be a Rubberist when I am wearing rubber, I feel at "home" in it . It feels "right" and is where I belong. It just seems like it is where I am supposed to be. (I don't pretend to know why - it's a mystery.)

Being "home" in my rubber is a "felt experience" that evokes fantasies, emotions and comfort. My otherwise busy, recursive mind is overlaid with the now-ness of pure sensation. I am living in the present when I am in my rubber. 

When I am not wearing my rubber I sometime long for "home".

"'Home' is an emotional state, a place of imagination where feelings of security, belonging, memory and personal history reside". [MOOR-ENCH.77]

To be "home" in our rubber is to inhabit it. We inhabit a place (whether real or virtual) when we give something to it and open ourselves up to receive what it has to offer.

Home satisfies the heart and the imagination.

It need not be a physical place or structure.

A real home does more than just provide a place of domicile for the body and the mind. It is also where the soul finds comfort and a sense of belonging.

It is a place of dreams and spells.

RubberHome is not defined by fashion styles or even the physical characteristic of a particular garment or even the rubber, itself. RubberHome is a state of mind and a place where the soul chooses to dwell. Therefore, RubberHome is based on how you deeply react and feel about a particular garment.

In fact, the actual garment may not matter at all -- it is how you feel when you are wearing it that matters and makes it "home".

RubberHome is how your soul reacts to the spirit of the garment and the spirit of the rubber. Even a simple rubber glove worn only on one hand can be RubberHome if it evokes magic and mystery in your heart.

Home is a place of enchantment, otherwise, it is not "home".

Cultivate a sense of "home" while in your rubber. Remember, it is not the garment, itself, but what it does to you that matters.

If rubber "sings" to you intimately, you are "home".
