Wow! That is so EXACTLY what I've been feeling lately and your words are what I needed to hear to remind me of the stillness behind it all. My thoughts have been consumed with finding or going home. I've recently left my 'home' of 20 plus years and found myself starting new somewhere that I thought I wanted to be. Turns out I'm not so sure and this thought of 'finding' home has been obsessive. Though I know in my heart that wherever I am, I am home but I haven't been able to connect to it, this 'home in my heart'. Today on my walk I realized that it's in the stillness that 'home' lies. So I get to BE stillness for a while, which doesn't mean coming to a screeching halt, but rather, as you mention, to NOTICE the stillness, the silence that's ever present in this moment.
Thank you for putting it so eloquently and for sharing, I appreciate knowing that I'm not alone in my yearning to 'be home'.
CindyLou thank you for this insightful comment <3 I hear you! I think we begin to associate things that feel at least somewhat "close" to home (because we don't know what "home" we're actually referring to)--which for me has at times created fear of being away from that "home", and to get back to it asap. We try to find it in a place, a person, an activity etc., when we don't realize that searching is actually what's distracting us from our actual home. It's really hard to put into words isn't it? Thanks for writing :)
