We all have a place that brings us a sense of calm; a place where we are at peace. Home is the space where we are content in this world and with our contributions we give to make it better. When we are “home” we are able to gain perspective on the movement of life and our own personal development. Home is safe and free. Time seems to stand still when we are home, giving us breathing room to reflect on life and dream new possibilities.
Home sometimes is a physical place; the town you grew up in, your grandparent’s cottage, or your garage full of tools. Home can also be found in the relationships of others; hanging out with long-time friends over drinks, playing with your kids at the park, or going for walk with the one you love. A sense of home can also come over us when we listen to a piece of music, taste a certain kind of food, or gaze at the sunset on a summer evening.
Yet most of life is spent on the go, constantly moving (in thought and action) causing us to feel like someone who is continually traveling for work and rarely ever home. We grow tired of the “air travel, the road travel, and the hotels”…we simply long for home.
Because we struggle to find “home” we loose track of where we are, who we are, and what we want our life to be about. Life outside of “home” is disjointed, unsettling, and lonely. And so our pursuit of “home” continues.
Where do you find yourself today? At home or in tireless pursuit?
Where are those places that bring you home?
