Coming Back H.O.M.E (Here on Mother Earth)

Where is home, is it the place you were born, the place you live, the place from which your ancestors are from. Beyond all of those places is the earth, the land, the sea, the oceans. We live upon the Earth but are we connected to the stars and beyond.

The earth, the wind ,the water.

Feel yourself alone in this place.

A living breathing part of it, drinking it in.

You are only your body, you are only your breath.

Feel the landscape moving through you returning you to yourself.

And as you move through it you are also a part of it.

You are alive inside your body.

You are alive inside your breath.

You are blood, you are bone. you are flesh, you are right where you belong.

YOU ARE HOME

YOU ARE HOME

YOU ARE HOME

As I return to places where I feel at home I wonder why this is. What draws me to these places.

I am nearly one month into my journey and away from “Home”, but am I. I feel very at home here. I am asked aren’t you going to go out and see places. As I sat with this I realized I am already in the “Place”. I am comfortable here and enjoy the sense of belonging here.

I am drawn to the waters, the sea, the ocean, the waterfalls and the streams (or the bern as they call it here).

I was out on the sea today and we saw where the fresh water reaches the salt water. There is a not a mixing that occurs. The fresh water sits on top of the sea water and shows a shimmer, almost like there is a on oil sheen. We quickly find out that this is the place the Mackerel hang out it is their home. Perhaps it is because of the diversity of plant life (seaweed) that is here. The creel ( lobster or crab pot) is dropped on the sandy part of the bottom of the sea. It is baited awaiting the creatures to enter and be pulled up another day.
