Where is Home?

Where is Home? Many refer to Home as where you live, but is that truly Home? Yes, your house could be your home, but what if you don’t feel peace, love, freedom, safety, or happiness? Is that a true Home? When I think of Home, I think of a morning dove chirping beautiful songs, because I think of Peace. Peace is where your doubts and fears can be released. When I think of Home, I think of an elegant swan pruning its feathers, because I think of Love. Love is what you should be proud of. When I think of Home, I think of a brave, bald eagle soaring through the open skies, because I think of Freedom. Freedom is definitely not boredom. When I think of Home, I think of a loyal dog guarding its owner faithfully, because I think of Safety. Safety is what parents are always too worried about, around a baby. When I think of Home, I think of a graceful dolphin playing happily with its friends, because I think of Happiness. Happiness can be found anywhere, even in sadness. Home doesn’t need to be a place. It can be a sport, music, or even our own imagination! Home is where you feel safe, where you are happy, where you are at peace, where you feel loved, where you are free. That is Home.
