HOME

 

I am fortunate to have an iPhone and I use the maps feature regularly when I travel to different places. What I like best is that on my return journey all I need to do is hit the HOME button and  no matter where I am it routes me safely home.

I’ve been thinking about the significance of HOME lately especially as I and so many of our sisters have recently moved and settled into new spaces. 

Can you find yourself at home in the gift of this day? Do you find yourself at home in your heart?

I have returned to live at Sinsinawa mound and feel deeply at home. It is the space from which our sisters are sent out on mission and to which they return for their final resting place.

I think of all who have been forced or bombed out of their homes. All the millions of displaced people searching for a place to call home, all the unhomed peopled on our own city streets especially veterans and those with mental health problems who have no place to call home.

How am I called to respond on this journey where we are simply walking each other home?
