Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1176 - #ComingHome
10 Mar, 2025
COMING HOME
"I guess that's the thing about coming home; it's not the home that's changed, it's the person coming back who has."
Meagan Church
THE LAST CAROLINA CHURCH
"And it is in that moment that one finally asks the right question: What is the Way home?"
Felisa Tan
IN SEARCH OF MEANING
"Maybe this isn't home, nor ever was--maybe home is where I have to go tonight. Home is the place where when you go there, you have to finally face the thing in the dark."
Stephen King
From the moment I left my parents' house for Vermont
(my second year of college),
I never called it "going home" there.
Home was always where I lived.
Still is.
In all these transitions,
in all this chaos.
Home is where I am.
As a country?
From the moment of the infamous descent on the escalator
to a cheering throng of paid extras,
I knew it would be incredibly difficult
to ever be clear, be sure again
where and how we find home.
In this moment, do we even know?
Do we know how?
What is the way home?
Is there a way home?
Is there a way through all this chaos?
personal ...
political ...
Trying to figure that out for myself,
and assist in figuring that out
for all those who rely on me for that,
especially those two I birthed into this fraught and complicated
beautiful/ugly world
myself.
Where is home?
What is the way home?
I am not sure of much
but that
the only way to find it
is together.
