Home

The urge to find our home and return there is as powerful as the vortex of a hurricane. But it is not an ominous force. We are drawn to our home because it is a place of rest, of refuge, a calm eye in the midst of the storm. Home is where we feel most comfortable, where we can be ourselves, stripped of all our masks, without the pretensions we wear for the world outside. We long for home because it is homely. It is the source of our energy, our identity, our self-esteem. Home is the tribe to which we belong. We are free to seek and find the group of people who most closely reflect our interests, passions, dreams and aspirations – our soul tribe.
