I can answer this with a short piece of a novella I'm working on:
"She looked up. Parts of the ceiling were black. Water, she remembered slowly. Leakage. Slowly the noise re-entered her head, as if it also, had been filled with water. The clamor of the city. It infiltrated her mind, her thoughts, like pinpricks. She desperately wanted to block it all out again. To shut the outside world again. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the curtain depraved windows, that let in all the neon flashes from outside. The outside world slowly skittered back into her senses. It wasn’t welcomed back in. "

The journey to feel at home in my body and in my mind. It's the base of many of my children's books. And maybe others to come..
