The Nomad and the mirror

Every three months in new locations.
Circular movements.
And no permanent home.

How does the Nomad find rest, clear focal points? What does she build?
A way of living I don't quite understand how to make the best of.
What is left behind at every move? And what does she bring with her?

I have a feeling we all need to save up our experiences and life expertise into more than just memories - that weakens in time.
A shelter. A frame. A home? Something that helps us remember what we know, what we have learned, what we have lived. So that we do more than move into countless iterations, sometimes uncertain if we have already lived it - repeating ourselves, or even adding mistakes where we once solved that single life equation with brilliance.

Maybe the Nomad solves it by storing herself in the collective conscious of the group that travels with her?
And how permanent must that group be to keep a picture of you? To be able to communicate this reflection of yourself back to you?

The Nomad asks the Nomad.
