Homesick
Sometimes I feel homesick. I had many homes growing up. Sometimes you would just like to go back and relive old times. Be with loved ones or friends that have since died. That of course is a hopeless dream. It has been said that you can’t go home again. You can of course, but even if you did, things would be different. My hometown is vastly different from when I grew up. Most of it was new and unfamiliar to me the last time I visited. Everything is subject to impermanence. The familiar becomes strange and vice versa. That is the way of the Tao. The best we can do is create a wonderful home wherever we are standing. It has been said that no matter where you go, there you are. No matter where we are standing now, if we have practiced well, we are home and there is no need to be homesick.
