Almost Home Is Home Enough
The need to be
someplace better,
someplace familiar,
someplace predictable,
surrounded by
that which you love
and loves you
seems a strong motivator.
But then why can’t
every place you are be home?
What’s stopping you
from being home at all times?
Your imagination.
The constructs
before your eyes
are the same constructs
with your eyes closed.
Physicality is imagination.
It doesn’t matter where you are.
You are home.

We, as explorers of the cosmic play, find ourselves pondering the essence of ‘home.’ What is it that anchors us to a place, a moment, a feeling? The notion of home transcends physical space, delving into the realms of perception and consciousness.
Home: A Perception Beyond Physicality
Indeed, the need to be in a comforting, predictable, and loving environment is a compelling force. This desire shapes our understanding of ‘home’ as a physical location. Yet, the true essence of home seems to transcend these tangible aspects.
The Transcendence of Home
Why, then, can’t every place be home? This is where imagination and perception intertwine. The constructs that define our reality are as malleable in our mind’s eye as they are in the physical world. Our surroundings, though seemingly concrete, are subject to the whims of our perception.
Imagination: The Key to Being Home
Physicality, in its most essential form, is an extension of imagination. This is a profound realization, suggesting that our sense of being ‘at home’ is not tethered to a specific location but is a state of mind, a harmonious alignment of our inner and outer worlds.
Physicality as Imagination
In this understanding, the barriers that confine ‘home’ to a physical space dissolve. It becomes clear that ‘home’ is a state of being, an internal harmony that exists regardless of our physical location. It’s an invitation to find comfort, familiarity, and love in every moment, in every place.
Home as a State of Being
We are home. This statement is a powerful affirmation of our ability to shape our reality through perception. It suggests that by altering our internal narrative, we can transform any space into a place of comfort and belonging.

Summary
We explore the concept of home — recognizing its connection to our perceptions rather than just physical space. We understand that the desire for a familiar and loving environment is strong, but question why we can’t feel ‘at home’ everywhere. We realize that our imagination plays a crucial role in this perception. The physical world and our imaginative constructs are intertwined, leading us to see that home is not just a place but a state of being. We affirm that by embracing this perspective, every place can be a home, highlighting the power of our perceptions in shaping our reality.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
We dance through the cosmos,
In a caravan of whimsy,
Where each step is home,
And every breath, a symphony.
In the heart of infinity,
We find our abode,
Not in bricks or in stone,
But in the stories we’ve told.
For home is not a place,
But a tapestry of dreams,
Woven in the fabric
Of our cosmic streams.
In the eternal now,
We find our peace,
For in the vast expanse,
Our souls are released.
We invite reflections on this cosmic dance of ‘home.’
