What is home?
Home has been a place sometimes.
Other times, home was a person.
Lately, home has been…
A coming back to myself.
I am home the most when I am my most authentic self.
I stopped looking for home outside
In places
And people
And realized that home…
Was always where my feet were.
Home was never a person outside of myself.
It was never a place outside of myself.
Home was me coming back to my body.
Home was me listening to the yearnings of my soul
It was me noticing the sensations that flow through my skin
Home is me noticing my breathe.
The rising and falling of my belly as it goes in and out
Home is me feeling my hair tickle the back of my neck
Home is me hearing the growling of my stomach
Home is me feeling the texture of grass on my feet
Home is where I am first and foremost
Because when I am home with myself
All other places
All other people
Become experiences, ornaments to enrich my existence
And wherever I go, I am assured
That I can always.
Always
Come back home.
To myself
