It is the return to the origin, in all its forms, that I propose to consider
through what Heidegger calls a Grundstimmung, a ground-attunement,
of mourning. This Mourning is a call to take on oneself the strife between
sorrow and joy, which are within that very Grundstimmung. When one
finds and stands on/in this locus, he/she is in a relation to place and time
that precedes feelings and opens the possibilities of home in a post-
civil war country. The strife will then be accompanied by one between
heaven and earth, allowing the coming-to-being of a holy place that is
the very meeting of the local and universal as one’s ownmost. The final
result of such attunement is the gathering of a people in reconciliation
to enter an experience of and in their language as the ontological place
for common thought, history, debate and a shared living/existence.
