Home is always where you are. It lives in your heart. It is a place of rest and refuge.
So keep it clean, keep it tidy make it warm, inviting and comfortable. When you run away from home, you are running from yourself. When you are running from yourself, it is because you imagine that you do not have a safe place to rest.
Life is motion. It is a dance of light and energy. You learn the steps by jumping in and dancing. Sometimes you try too hard. You exhaust yourself and you get confused. You will not learn the dance you have to learn by always running to a different partner or a different dance hall, but you do need a break.
So sit back. Breathe. Feel your heart beating, feel your muscles ache, and rest them. When you are content and comfortable you are home. Take some time to watch the dance before jumping back in. You learn to dance by doing it, but also by watching others and noticing how the most proficient dancers move. You learn by watching the struggles of others and hopefully decide to do things differently.
Resting is learning and growth. It prepares you for more active times later, but in order to rest, you need a home to go to. The one that is with you always.
Spend some time each day within your "home". Close your eyes. Sit in silence, if only for a few minutes. Like a turtle you can then carry your home with you, pulling in even as chaos goes on around you. Finding peace wherever you are.
No need to run away. Just enjoy the dance. ~Silas
