What does it take to find home?

Everywhere you go, there is possibility and potential
for your relationship with home to heal, open, blossom and reveal itself
your colors, your song, your gifts
keep exploring, peeling the layers, opening

Human beings “cannot discover new oceans unless [they have] the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

~ Andre Gide

Home is a place, a state and a quality of being
the seat of your dreams
opening your heart to meet yourself and the world
alive, fresh, vital, magical

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home is part of an ever unfolding adventure
breathing the space where we come together
taken by this growing taste for mystery

Home is the page holding this ink receiving your presence
inviting you to explore, discover, cross thresholds, expand

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sonia Rykiel 

At home in your own skin, in your own body
in that place that whispers:  come out, emerge, shine, play

At home in your heart
in the spaces you inhabit
in the sacred earth
in the world

At home, flowing like a river,
like the ebb and flow of an ocean
a merging and flourishing and a constant becoming

At home in the voyage of your soul
in the journey made of moments and vistas
of valleys and peaks and trails of love

“The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire.”

~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
