The Need for Home

Home is our sanctuary, where we:
relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,
paint the walls green and pink,
dig in the dirt,
grow something,
love somebody else,
love ourselves even more,
snuggle with a warm blanket on a Sunday afternoon,
hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

A [person] travels the world over in search of what he [or she] needs
and returns home to find it.
- George A. Moore

A house is made of walls and beams;
a home is built with love and dreams.

The ache for home lives in all of us,
the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

home that our feet may leave,
