"Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your
heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we're always home, anywhere.
"
( Glinda, the Wizard of Oz )
I have often battled with answering this question.
At
times I think it is obvious, at others I have my doubts.
Home is something in
your mind, it is a concept and you can have many "homes" if you want
just as you have many "identities" in your life. As a former
extensive traveler I found my "home" in different countries with different
kinds of people, ways of life and cultures.
The "home" concept can
help you live a great life if you widen, expand and share it with others….it
can also be a terrible concept when you use it as a way to extend hate and
violence.
I like to feel that the world is my home, although I must admit that
I get a lot of opposition to this from those who see "home" as more
parochial, limited and "only for us"….that is already a different
post…
Below is an article about home from the
"homeless" perspective.
