The phrasing was “in a way, homeless” - the author was clearly trying to use only part of the meaning. The idea of being without a home - I’ve described myself as homeless, in a way, when describing moving away from where I grew up to a place where I have few roots - is important, whatever home means contextually. I actually think what the author is doing is important. It is about reframing homelessness as something not for just destitute or lost people, but a way of life that can result in happiness. I think you are homeless as well, and I’m glad you are. What word would we use instead to describe someone without a home? I do suppose at the end of the day you probably feel similarly to me, that a home is more than a McMansion or an apartment - maybe wherever you happen to be in Africa is your home? I’m not sure how to rectify the idea of a physical home with the abstract idea of home, definitely worth reflecting on.
