Why Did I Come Here?

Maybe I had to leave home

to learn how to be home...
how to receive home
and have eyes to see home.

The time abroad has taught me what I couldn't know before --
the way to love and live a life that is simple, rich,

family-focused, free, and wealthy...
in a world that is needlessly busy and complicated,

hollow, shallow,

self-focused, stuff-focused, debt-filled and tied up and poor.
