Homesickness

Regard that pain, always there, rarely acknowledged.
You know, that dull ache in the chest
Which sometimes arises when you're alone.

Look directly at it. Don't be afraid.
Sense the great love hiding there.
It is your best friend
Calling you home.

Ask where it lives.
Listen carefully to the answer
For within it is your salvation
And that of all humanity.

That which we consider most personal
Is always also the most universal

As within, so without
There is no boundary

If no boundary
Then where are you?

Where is Home?
