Why?

Everyday I ask why, why this, why now? I go up to my mom and say, 'Mom, why do we celebrate stuff?' 'Mom looks up and says, ' because it's our culture.' I say, 'Okay.' and go to school. At school I go to my teacher and say, 'Why? Why this project? Why now?' My teacher looks up and says, 'because it's for you to learn.' I say, 'Okay.' I go to bed curiously thinking, asking, wondering. 'Why? Why does all of this relate to me?' When I look at that picture, I see, I see... HOME. Home is me. It's the people around me, it's my family, it's lovely, it's beautiful. Now I hope this reminded you of your why's. Take time to ask why and what is YOUR home? Just ask........ WHY?
