This week, after sitting and walking meditation, we explored the theme of Ethan Nichtern's book, The Road Home. Here's a taste:
So often our idea of home is whatever we hope will magically be waiting for us after the current disruption....We experience our past as a collection of lost opportunities: Maybe I already missed my chance at a true home? Memories blend into a potpourri of nostalgia: Maybe I really was at home, once upon a time, back in the day, but then I lost it, or it was taken away from me. The future becomes a carnival of hope and fear.
