Home is where you are, not where you’re going to be.
Where are you today?
Are you on your way to work?
On your way to the refrigerator?
On your way to despair?
To hope?
Everyone is seeking meaning.
Meaning to life.
Meaning to sadness.
Meaning to circumstance.
Home is where you are.
What does that mean?
Ideas are given power by the people that believe them to be true.
The idea of home for many is an external dwelling.
A place where four walls come together under one roof.
Yet whether you own a home, want a home, you can only rent that home.
All of our lives are a trek from one home or the other.
We don’t own it.
We are only caretakers.
The current occupant.
Renters.
Home is where you are, means you are home.
You are home already, right now, this very second.
Where you are, so is your home.
You are the precious dwelling of the infinite.
Your life is the meaning of home.
There where you are, there also will be life.
Where are you going?
If you are looking for happiness, a home, outside of yourself, what are you looking for?
Unless and until you are happy inside of yourself, you will never find contentment outside of yourself.
Life is the journey, not the destination.
Life is now.
Life is in you now.
Your life is in your home, which is you.
But our lives are not tied to the ground.
All of our lives are mobile.
Each person in their own recreational vehicle traversing the world.
Each gaining experience, building a collection of memories.
Where are you taking your home?
What is your destination?
Are you ignoring the signs on the road?
Are you drowning out the sounds in the streets calling for justice?
Have you pulled the curtains so that you don’t have to see children caged?
Have you put up a fence to keep the neighbors off of your property?
If you have, you have forgotten you’re a renter like the rest of us.
We are all given only so much time in this world.
It is up to each of us to do our best with the time we have.
Not to waste our home.
Our life.
Our time.
Our responsibility to each other.
Our love.
November 3, we have a responsibility to ourselves and our neighbors.
Vote to save our democracy.
Vote to save your home.
Vote for peace.
Vote for love over hate.
Peace
