Where We Are
Our true home is in the here and now. It isn’t limited by time, space, nationality, or race. Our true home isn’t an abstract idea – it’s something we can touch and live in every moment.
The Present Moment
With mindfulness and concentration we can find our true home in the full relaxation of our mind and body in the present moment.
Not so long ago…
…we lived among tribal warriors. One of the native American’s dismay and later disarm of the white man’s ways was the continual parceling out of land. Private property meant nothing to the Natives. There’s something to be said about the degree of ownership in our culture when reflecting on these concise words of Thich Naht Hahn. Thich Hahn’s words are not part of a simple solution but a distillation of words & thoughts much needed for us today. It’s no accident that “home” is now part of “self”.
