Thought for the day - Home is where your heart is

"It's like Dorothy trying to get home in The Wizard Of Oz. People think of home as the place where they're comfortable and everything's okay. She goes through this whole journey, finds the wizard, and discovers that home is back in Kansas."

Bernie Glassman, The Dude and The Zen Master



Where is home for you? Is it a physical place or a place in your imagination over the rainbow? Perhaps it is an interior sense of oneness with the universe, the place you were before you were born and the place you are going home to when you die, resting always in the mind of God.

For me, home has always been Brockport. For me it is a sacred space. It is the place where God put me and where, for me, the power of God dwells. Dorothy went through her whole fantastical journey to find out that home was back in Kansas. In my life, I have always known that home is in Brockport.

For others Brockport is simply a temporary way station to get an education or to grow up or to do business. But for some of us, Brockport is hallowed ground, a sacred, special place where the word has become flesh as it says in the bible, and the spirit has been incarnated in the illusions we call life, where people suffer and celebrate, experience joy and pain, and hopefully come to realize that the Spirit that abides here, abides forever.
