Coming home is is the aspiration and longing for all of us. Life is a journey, a yatra, for all of us. When we find and arrive at our 'home' we feel fulfilled and at peace with ourselves and others traveling on the road less traveled. We all want to go 'home' and be at peace with ourselves and with others. I want to reach 'home '- a place where my soul rests in peace, 'where my consciousness flows unimpeded like the Ganges murmuring on a sunny day.' This is my abode with no walls beween me and you. It is a true union.
When do I arrive "Home"? When I break out of the self-created prison I have created, I arrive home. I feel authentically 'home.' Home is within me. I need to open my eyes to see my Home. I do not need to go to holy places to find it. It is right now and here.
I felt that unlimited freedom, joy and bliss when I was traveling to Amarnath, a snowclad mountain on the Himalayas. It was a meditative
experience with no boundaries. I felt at 'home.' I felt deeply connected with the earth below and with the sky above. It was an experience of 'oneness.' I feel oneness with the universe.
Namaste!

Lovely response, JP! Poetic, mystical, and wise. I especially liked these words of yours:
