tomorrow we will start our journey towards home. i know that as we travel westward over the next four days i will have little time to write, so today i'm writing a brief meditation about what's on my mind. i jotting this down quickly and won't even take time to proofread. please forgive any mistakes.
last week i wrote about attachment to possessions. we can be attached to so many things, and as i contemplate the upcoming trip, i think about my attachment to home. after being away, i long for home. i wonder how those who have no fixed home deal with their wandering. i wonder if they long for home or if home has a different meaning for them. i wonder if i can let go of my attachment to the idea of home.
we are attached to so much, not just home or possessions. we are attached to our spouse, our children, our extended family, our friends, our concept of who we are, our thought, the foods we love. the list could go on. so as i think about attachment, i wonder if i could ever let go of all my attachments, or if i should release myself from attachment. this is what i will think of in the moments i have for solitary thought during our trip back to where we started our adventure.
in the meantime, may we all be peaceful and at ease. shalom.
