Have you ever had one of those days when you felt like shouting, “I want to go home!”
Well, I had one today, and I was at home. Fancy that!
“Where is home?” I asked.
I didn’t know.
Hence, I pulled my loving-kindness practice out of my tool kit, and kept thinking, ‘May I find home, may I find home, may I find it now!’
Then I reflected on past readings and audio talks about what are called the “Divine Abodes,” one of which is loving-kindness.
Ah so! It’s more than just a practice; it’s a place to abide, to dwell.
‘Hmm. This sounds like home to me,’ I concluded.
What followed was, ‘May I dwell in loving-kindness,’ repeated, over and over, and pretty soon I felt much better, and very at home indeed.
Then, I was able to get on with things.
And so, if you are looking for home, it’s probably right here.
It’s so good to be home again. (I wonder how long I will stay this time, and when I will ever learn to just stay home!)
