Our work takes us far away from home to beautiful places, mostly resorts and other such vacation destinations. Who would not want to see sights that keep us alive...or to be pampered, serviced, and have not a care on making up our rooms, and prepare meals?
But after a couple of days, the charm of a luxurious room and magic of beautiful sights seem to wane as we think about --- you guessed it --- h-o-m-e. Certainly, the old adage from the Wizard of Oz counts: "There's no place like home." We long for the familiar, the unique smells, sights, sounds. We pine for the family spirit along with all its quirks and scrapes for it is where we belong.
So much emotion is tied up to this word.
Anywhere we have felt comforted, relaxed, free to flourish is home. It may not be a structure --- home is in the presence of persons who care. I am glad i am home.
"Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is whenever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you"
