I have had reason of late to think a lot about home...about where I live...about feeling like I fit here...about my lifelong pattern of moving...
Where I am Home
There are times I want to ask, God,
why you gave me wings if
I am meant to stay and why
you let me love so deeply
if I am to be
called to the edge
of precipice or path, called
to give myself over
to the buoyancy of wonder,
yes, and ah! and on
a flight of so much more than fancy go.
Though, in the twining moments
of freely winding grace
I know why I do not ask:
The invitation is
neither to stay
nor to go.
The call is
to be
at home
in you
The call is
to rise
with the sun
to rest
with the stars
to let your love
move my heart.

Dear Kim,
"Home" happens to be one of my favorite themes. Thank you for this. It's lovely in its simplicity.
Love, Pat
