Homeward Bound
“Home wasn’t a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”
— Sarah Dessen

Once we step outside of the illusion of our own
separate self, a radically different picture emerges. Our
true nature exists in a dimension of oneness. Unlike the
ego, which always looks out for its own self-interest, the
Self reflects a vision of unity, in which each individual
part is nourished according to its real need. A glimpse of
the Self gives us a sense of an interconnected oneness in
which nothing is separate: everything is an expression of
a oneness that is dynamically alive. Every person, every
stone, is this oneness; everything is connected and interdependent.
Our individual Self is the Universal Self
and it is all a living organism of light and love.”
