Home

home...... i often wonder about the many meanings of that word..... especially in light of all the destruction from fire, hurricanes and earthquakes, the destabilization of the world..environmentally, politically , financially.. socially, on and on...we turn to each other.. count on each other... HOME.

home always indeed.. is a safe haven.. that you return to at the end of the day.. cook your meals, read, work, make love and go to sleep in your own bed.. nothing like it

but home is so much more.... it's not so much the structure, but what happens inside... our stuff while precious to us is just an accumulation ..... we cant take it with us.. but yes it has so much importance to most of us/Me Too.... .especially irreplaceable momentos, and precious items passed down through families, our art work, things we want to leave to create a legacy

but bottom line it's how you live your life... and how you are with the people in your life. family , friends , loved ones, the world at large..... these people are also home..

so while it might be grand to think of having a big home.. or a home with a lot of amenities.... in reality.. it doesn’t so much matter.... big or small. the same cultivations of thought and purpose , dignity and life occur in a tent, an apartment or a big or small home...even those who find themselves on the street bc of so many ills in our system that lets people fall through the cracks.....they too make a home.. if you stop to notice and look...... home is important.... everyone deserves and is entitled to a place called home...EVERYONE

so when i see this home, which i drove by for many days.. i found myself staring at... it was beautiful to me... and wondered about the life and family inside.... as i do often when i walk this earth... we are all family..

Home IS where the heart is...its all of us....
