“Home is an elusive and numinous word. What does it mean to find home? There are many ways to describe or circle around this state, but most of all we have to feel into this mysterious internal place we call home. To be home is to feel safe and of one piece. It is to be in the grace of your elemental waters where your being is marked by presencing rather than efforting.80 It is to fall into the rightness and rhythm of being who you are without shame. When we are home, we find our way through deep wild response rather than through unremitting willful effort. To be too far from home for too long is to be constantly exhausted.”
