[The tips of Spock's ears became a nice shade of green... but he resolved himself to explain.]
Meditation is key to a Vulcan's mental health. A key factor of the meditative process is the 'center'. The very core of which we ground ourselves when we meditate. It is there that we must make ourselves most comfortable, or rather 'at home'. [Spock hesitates for a moment...] The center acts like a beacon. For Vulcans it was our home planet. Since its demise I have spoken with my father and learned that many have been able to use the new Vulcan colony to center themselves. I have never called that place home, nor have I ever felt as though I belonged on Earth. I contented myself with using the Enterprise, the only place I felt like I belonged. However, I found it still lacking... until I started to use you. Every physical or mental contact we make provides me with a trace of your signature... the very thing that makes you inherently you. I have been using this as my beacon... my home.
[Spock went quiet for a moment... wondering if Jim would think he was odd.]
